A Glimpse into Our Day
This afternoon, we were seeking air conditioning and a good dose of shopping. With this weekend being predicted as dangerously hot for us northerners...which is still under 100 degrees :)...we were happy to be in a cooler place than our home, which only has a small-space air conditioner.
So...the story goes like this:
We shop until our cart is full, hearing that a downpour has begun by the sound echoing off the roof. By the time we reach the doors to leave the store, we decide to wait until it stops, taking an ice cream break. But then, we returned to the doors to find an even more torrential downpour. I was telling Katelyn and Mom something like "Let's just run!" and they are thinking "NO!" so we eventually compromised that I would run for the car and pull up to the door for them and the bags.
Ummm...lets just say it was more of a downpour than I thought! I was drenched and almost ran into another person who was running through the parking lot as I sloshed my way to the farther end of the lot for the car, laughing as I banged my head trying to get into it. Another thing that struck me funny is that I was still wearing my church clothes and I realized that this wasn't the first time that my skirt had been drenched in a downpour adventure! Last summer, I was on a walk/run with my friend in the same skirt...don't ask me why I was in a skirt - that's beyond the point...but it started pouring and we went at least another mile. Yep...that skirt has been through a lot! ;)
Well, at least this afternoon made for a very refreshing and cooling adventure and I'm almost dry now! The house has cooled off too. Maybe tonight we can still grill for supper...
(And no, I did not go back out in the rain for this picture...I took it earlier this summer when it was so beautiful out after a rainfall!)
