6:27: Here comes the (Rita) rain

We have had our first light sprinkles of rain. No big whoop. Just one more reminder. We also had an internet hiccup. Again, no big whoop.

Dinner is over. More waiting. But now we have cookies. Susan got in a mood, inventoried what we had in the pantry and came up with chocolate-chip oatmeal cookies. They are very yummy. Susan is in negotiations with the Oakleys across the street to trade cookies for chili.

Marion down the street had her minister come over and the block had a prayer service. Every house on the block had someone represent. Very cool.

The news is reporting that the storm is moving much farther north than expected. We are looking more at Louisiana around Lafayette than Houston (Kingwood). We may get as little as 3" of rain. [Insert "Praise God" here.]

We still have hours to go. We'll have to see.
