This morning we arose early and got ready to go to the ranch for breakfast. It had rained all night but I did not think it had rained very many inches. Well, I was wrong. When I stepped out of the house I knew I was wrong because my first foot print went extra deep in the wet ground.
As we drove to the ranch it rained at short intervals, but it had rained a large amount when we saw the creeks and rivers. They were all filled to capacity. The main road was fine but when we turned on a gravel road to the ranch we had to drive through water at different spots. The creeks were overflowing and moving very rapidly.
We arrived at the ranch with no problems and had a wonderful breakfast of barley pancakes, sausage, eggs and fruit. It was a beautiful breakfast with some friendly chatter and laughter.
It was noontime when we left the ranch and returned to the park. While we were driving we finally had cell phone service so I called our son-in-law because our daughter was scheduled to have a c-section this morning for our 21st grandchild. It was a little boy who looks like his dad. Our daughter was doing fine and had walked around in her room already. This is her fourth section so she knew what to expect. She probably was a little high on drugs and hormones, so tomorrow will probably be a little different. They seem to be doing fine. Thank goodness. That makes 11 granddaughters and 10 grandsons. The Lord has been good to us. Our new baby is Troy Aiden and he was welcomed by his big sister and two big brothers.
Later in the day we went to the Olive Pit which is a olive tasting cafe. It was so much fun to check all of the olives. They had a large amount of stuffed and a few plain olives. We bought the Danish blue cheese olives and some peach balsamic vinegar. Later we came back to the store and Walt got some almonds of different flavors for healthy snacks. He loves to nibble on nuts as a snack.
Tomorrow is a day of travel--so bedtime sounds good. Goodnight.
