Rainy Days

Afternoon showers are a way of life during fall in Houston. However, this week we had a flooding torrent of rain. We had to leave to take His Royal Highness something that he needed at school so we pulled our old raincoats out of the closet and the girls got their rain boots on. I didn't have a raincoat or boots so I pulled on HRH's old jacket and my tennis shoes. It was raining so badly that we had to turn around and go a different way because of flooding.

By the time we got to the school, the rain had calmed and we were able to walk inside without much trouble. We saw HRH, got a snack out of the vending machines and then prepared to walk back to the van when the bottom let out. The princesses were well protected but I was drenched and the water was even coming through the jacket. What started as a fun walk in the rain ended up to be a drenching headache. But, I thank God that the true test of our roof after Ike passed with flying colors. We are so blessed.
