No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Linda in the swim of things!

This morning Linda and I drove to Bible study at Victory, sad that Justin had to work instead of being off. We worked together to fold the bulletins and inserts for Sunday's worship. Class was so good again, a smaller group of only five of us. Linda got to meet Suzanne and Wayne, and saw Marilyn again. 

While we were in class, we saw the rain was coming down in buckets. Nuts! No pool for us, it seemed. Wayne very nicely went to our cars and carried back the umbrellas for us so we could get to our cars. He is, indeed, a gentleman!! We got soaked regardless of the umbrella including inside my purse and my Bible. The two of us protected our heads but that's about it!!!

We drove home in a torrential downpour, slow and steady won the race. I dropped Linda off close to the door at The Club, assuming she'd go in. I parked on the other side of the building and used the umbrella to walk to the door. I went into the lobby of The Club when I didn't find her, and asked if she'd gone in to sit down already. No one had seen her. Somehow we missed each other, possibly when she went into the bathroom and I came into the building. 
                              
This is my umbrella---I wonder why I don't like to use one since this is so cute!

At last we found one another and were seated. The mini-buffet offered their renowned fried chicken with mashed potatoes, greens, salad, and soup. It was just delicious. Linda loved the salad was sort of citrusy in its flavor. The soup was cream of broccoli and so tasty. Linda loved her meal and the whole thing. Oh, almost forgot the dessert of which I had the regular cheese cake and she the chocolate cheese cake, which was 'yummy', she said.

We 'swam' our way back home, and got settled in for the rest of the day, not expecting the rain to let up at all. We watched our radio show before our TV show. Later, I went to the kitchen and made a batch of sloppy Joe's for our dinner. Justin came in from work, thoroughly soaked, having worked all day in that pouring rain. What a guy!

Tonight we watched some TV and talked until we were hoarse, and then switched to laughing, before toddling off to bed. No moon for us to look at due to the heavy cloud cover tonight. Maybe tomorrow???
