For the Record

Not one drop! of rain here at the Vetmommy Ranch due to Hurricane Ike. I worked Thursday and Friday at the hospital (instead of hob nobbing at the coast) and the appt schedule was filled with last-minute-much-needed-appointments. My parents in Houston did see more precipitation than they'd like.

Today I did enjoy a jog with the dog in heavy, humid air with a strong wind (such a weird combination), an imaginary "safari" hike with Colin to the very dry creek bed (he stomped around and wondered at the lack of moisture and tadpoles while I hoped he wouldn't meet a snake). Also we enjoyed a lively dinner with my MIL and friends featuring plenty of Hatch green chiles and vino.

All's well that ends well.

Mmm, hatch chiles....

Glad it was less than expected, rather than the reverse. I still hope your conference gets rescheduled. When I had to come home from New Orleans early due to Hurricane Gustav, the whole weekend was a bust, so I understand your disappointment.

I'm sad that we didn't get any rain. I was kind of looking forward to an entire weekend cuddled up indoors. Plus, I was hoping Cole's baseball game today would be rained out. Is that awful? Sorry about your conference!

Off-topic: I still can't believe you didn't win the cake portion of the Village Fete.
