Building the ark

OMG this is the day after the day before the day after the day that it rained to build the ark. It was not raining for a nono second alround lunch and I took advantage of this amazing phenomenon to step outside and pass amongst them. Yikes. The security guard at one of the entrances assured me that it would not rain anymore. must remember not to check in with him about weather or the ponies. Lucky that I did go out then because I see and hear that it is raining again.

Peg Fraser came in from Vermont and we had a girls evening last night. I've known her since we met at a frat party at W&L lo these many years ago. It's always wonderful to see her because there is no pause in the conversation. We can just pick up in the middle of a sentence. And when I got home I found that she and Kate had been chatting and she knew everything that there was to know! i wish I had that ability with kids to just be able to talk with them. I don't have it. With Kate maybe but I'm always amazed to find that half of her friends are intimidated by me. Oh, well.
