Rain, Rain Go Away

But don't forget us in July, please. My friend and dance/ gardening partner was sweet enough to take me out to the Boathouse for lunch ,today, after I helped him find some references to the property he just bought, in the basement of the courthouse. He estimates the property went from the Indians to speculators to the Bixler family, through several owners after the Bixlers and now back to the Indians =Rainwater. Although I have found very few Rainwaters in this country who could claim ties to native Americans, I won't burst his bubble.
We celebrated Easter all day yesterday with a little nap in the middle. Hersh (Rainwater) made it in for the big ham event about 6:30 p.m. Son, Chris Long, did most of the food after being up into the wee hours of the night with band job and church.
Uncke Jack Anglin was very happy in church yesterday because his kids and cousin Dave Anglin from Fort Wayne were there and stayed for dinner.
I was out to see Count last week and she told me more about life on the farm where she grew to a teen. The upstairs "dorm style " room was never finished beyond the studs. The boys- Wayne, Herm and Doyle slept on one side of the big chimney and the girls -Mary, Count and Anna on the other side until you know, PUBERTY. Then a small civilized room was made up for the girls downstairs. Count could draw a detailed chart of exact placement of every room in that house right now Talking about it seems to bring her comfort.
