rain

We were at a pool party at the Lake of the Ozarks yesterday. When we left our house the temp was 107. I was wearing a tank top and a short skirt that I wear for walking. I topped it off with a big straw hat; not what I would normally wear to a party but in triple digit temperature one must get creative. Many of the invited guests had called and canceled due to the heat but we decided to brave it. We were there not ten minutes when the sky grew very dark and thunder started rumbling. The kids were rushed out of the pool and into the "toy room" to watch a movie. The grown-ups huddled underneath the covered deck and enjoyed the thunderstorm. The temperature dropped drastically to mid seventies. It lasted maybe an hour. The kids were able to get back into the pool and later everyone feasted on the fresh fried crappie, a local delicacy.
