Yep, it's been raining off and on for a while now, and all because of the hurricanes further south. It rained so hard today that I had to drive through high water across the road. But, all the rain means that the creek is full and when it calms down a bit I'm gonna get my innertube out and watch out baby! I'm goin' tubin'! woohoooooooo!
Also, tonight the church choir went to the nursing home to sing, well I should say 3 choir members and 3 non-choir members showed up since everyone else is on vacation, but anyway, we sang old hymns and those little old ladies were singing at the top of their lungs. They really like it when we sing the old songs. Mama's aunt was recently put in there, and I asked them to bring her down so she could hear, and she protested the whole time. When we were finished singing, I took her back to her room and she doesn't remember things that good so this was the conversation going down the hall.
her-Do you know where I'm going?
me- No, Alta Mae, I sure don't so we'll just cruise up and down the halls until we find your room.
her (after we find the right hall)- i know this road, I used to go down this way all the time. Have you ever been down this road?
me-no, I haven't.
her-well, that's good, I hope you never have to go down this road.
me(in my mind)-I hope I never have to go down this road either, honey.
Oh my goodness! Talk about holding back the tears. This woman who used to work her fingers to the bone on the mountain where she was born and raised has been reduced to a wheelchair, and a bed in a home where her son put her just to get her land and everything on it. It just makes you wonder how people could care so little for the person that gave you life. I'm glad I love my mommy and I'm glad she loves me.
What else is there to say?
