Rainbows and Sunsets



Hello everybody who is brave enough to check us out! We continue with our lives here in hot ol Texas. The last couple of days the temp under our awning in the afternoon has registered 116! That means that the temp is about 110 or so. Not bad if you don't go outside. Now you know why southerners move slowly. Too hot to go from house to car to building very fast, even in the morning when the temp is 85 at sunrise. The pix were taken last Wed. when a few thunderstorms rolled through here. They dumped rain with a lot of thunder and lightening. In the evening we were strolling through the steam when we spied the rainbow. It faded a bit by the time we hurried back to the coach and returned with the camera and tripod. Duane looked around for the other end and spied it among the trees. We caught the sunset and cloud formations on the return trip to the coach. The other exciting thing going on is that we are getting some projects done. I have finished my embroidery and have spent the last couple of days reading. Duane finished a cat bottle topper and is almost done with his eagle cane. It's good to have inside hobbies when we can't do much outside. Tomorrow we take a trip to Tyler to see our new doctor, the other one having moved to south Louisiana. We will meet up with our son for lunch, then drive further east to Kilgore to visit with our daughter-in-law and our two grandchildren. It's an all day trip, and we will be getting home late. Tues. Duane works and I plan to get started on baby quilts for Christmas gifts. That's about it for now.
