Officially we received 0.37" of rain overnight. The total for January is 0.79" so far. That's not a lot, and I guess it is about average, but it seems like a lot for the "desert". It sprinkled on and off during the morning. This afternoon we had some sun for awhile, then we had some fairly strong winds. The weather was still nice enough that there were a lot of people, including us, spending time sitting outside.
This morning I tracked down some distilled water. I had to go to a Target about a 25 minute drive from us. (The Target 10 minutes from us didn't have any.) I picked up 3 gallons. I didn't want to be a hoarder but I knew it was past time to add water to the coach house batteries. We had new ones installed in July so it had been 6 months. The plates were still covered in all 4 batteries but it took about 3 quarts of distilled water to get the water levels back up. I put a reminder in my calendar to check them 4 months from now.
That was pretty much our day. I did stop at a Del Taco, on my way back from Target, to pick up 2 chicken tacos for Kathy and a fish taco for me. (I had eaten oatmeal and half a grapefruit for breakfast, Kathy doesn't eat breakfast so she is hungry by mid-morning.)
Tomorrow we pack up and get ready to head east, and then south, on Wednesday morning.
Yesterday I mentioned the Pastor's sermon was based on I John. One thing he pulled out of the first chapter and a few other scriptures, was that we have the light and we are to be light for those who don't. The point that stuck with me was that the important thing that others should see revealed by my "light" is that I care about them. I can do that because I've seen how Christ cares for me. My "light" might also reveal that I don't do some of the things I used to do, but that is less important.
Hey Lydia, I miss you to!
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
