5/21/2011 Oh Yeah…S U N S H I N E !

When we woke this morning the house seemed brighter than usual. It sure didn’t take us long to figure out why.


IMG_8318Oh what a sight for sore eyes! Blue skies! A little on the cool side but that’s ok! Oh Yeah….S U N S H I N E !


We’re getting’ out of here!


We had some errands to run downtown so that’s where we headed first. When we got in the truck and drove away we smiled and waved to Gary and Shari the other camp host couple. Happy! Happy! Happy! Oh Yeah….S U N S H I N E !

We’re zippin’ in and out of stores downtown picking up things we needed and there was a bounce in our step that had been decidedly missing lately. Oh yeah….S U N S H I N E!


So we’re riding along a country road taking in all the gorgeous scenery, marveling at how green everything is, thrilled that the trees are starting to bud, chatting about this and that and all the things we’re going to see this summer. A definite change in our mood! Oh yeah….S U N S H I N E!


And then…..


In a matter of minutes, without us even noticing because we were so busy talking about plans for this summer, the clouds moved in. It was two in the afternoon but it looked more like dusk. And then the heavens opened and dumped so much rain on us that we had no choice but to turn around and head back to Ellsworth AFB. In a short amount of time the roads downtown were flooding and traffic slowed to a crawl.


We drove home silently. The spell had been broken. It was raining, AGAIN!


I can’t take this much more. I need sun!
