Saturday, Mom, Dad, Daniel and I, drove to Chesterfield, South Carolina to visit my Uncle John and Aunt Sara. (Kevin and Laura were at Mitey Riders Equine Therapy) Some of my very favorite childhood memories are at their home.  Chesterfield is a small, historic town full of beautiful old southern style homes with wraparound porches.  Everyone knows everyone in Chesterfield.  

Forty-Five

I had a birthday this week.  

September Sunday

I made the mistake of leaving my phone lying around at Mom's house.  I just realized that Daniel recorded a video on it.  He also took a picture of the two of us but, I did know about that.  I love that he likes to tag our photos with a "Best Friend" sticker.

The Week In Review

Looking at the pictures on my phone, I see that this was a pretty normal week.  Monday, Scott cleaned up our yard after Hurricane Florence.  Thankfully, this was all the clean up we needed.  We don't take it for granted and are incredibly grateful that we were spared any damage.  We are trying to play our small part in helping others that weren't so fortunate.

Under My Umb-r-ella Ella Ella...

I can't get the song Umbrella by Rihanna out of my head right now.  We are waterlogged here in the Carolinas.  Thankfully, despite having nonstop rain for over the past 24 hours, the area that I live in seems to have been in a pocket that received less rain than everyone else around here.  The creek behind my house didn't even overflow.  The rest of my county was not as lucky; we are under a mandatory curfew from 7pm until 7am due to widespread flooding.  Officials are afraid that you won't be able to see flooded roads in the dark.  

Hunkered Down

We are hunkered down here and waiting for the "Biblical" rains.  My gosh, if they really were Biblical rains then I guess that would mean rain for 40 days and 40 nights.  I think we are expecting 2 days and 2 nights at most.  That will be a record here either way.
