Evening Kathy, how's things up there in “The Last Frontier’’? Been a wild and wooly day down here on The Jersey Shore, the weather that is. Kid you not. At 4 this afternoon it was partly sunny with thunderclouds and wind. At one point the sun was out and yet it was raining on my front lawn and the backyard wasn't getting a drop! Then it stopped and lo and behold there was a beautiful rainbow off to the south! I thought I captured a pix of it on my cell phone camera but I don't think I got it. But then again, it isn't easy to catch a rainbow is it? Say a prayer for our friends in Oklahoma. I'd like to remember my Uncle Fred who passed away a few months ago. He was the last surviving uncle of my childhood. He served with the 84th. Infantry Division in Belgium during the winter of Dec. 1944 and January 1945. He was wounded, recovered, promoted to 1st. lieutenant. He was re-activated in August of 1951, served as a supply officer in West Germany during the Korean War, honorably discharged in Sept.1953. Thanks Uncle Fred, rest in peace. Have a great week Kathy.

Good evening, jamcusa...we got some much needed rain over night, and hoping for more maybe tonight or tomorrow.

It is so "funny" when there is rain on your right hand, but not on our left. And then you got a rainbow....nice, even if you didn't capture it on your phone.

Our friends in Oklahoma are surely in need of all the prayers we can provide.

Our thanks to Uncle Fred for his service to our country.
