Rain, Rain Go Away...

This was the picture in alot of low lying areas in Raleigh yesterday, courtesy of tropical storm 'Alberto.' We received almost 8 inches of rain between 4:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. By this morning, though, most of the waters had receded and our streets and sidewalks were already drying-up. This kind of flash flooding can be very dangerous. We were lucky to have only one death. I and my family managed to stay dry be staying home. I think alot of people went that route, because there were several closings.

I went to Mom's today to help her with my Nanny(She's 86) so she could have a day out. Nanny will listen to me for hours about my knitting. Then
again, she's kindof a captive audience, she can't move anywhere very quickly! (Did I mention that she is the one who taught me to knit?) I am working on some pics of her so that I can show them to you. I also have some of the Father's Day socks. I'll try to get them up tomorrow.

Hope all of you have a great Friday and rest of the weekend!
