Rain!

We're getting a lot of rain in Wichita! We have not flooded at our house, but the areas around us have. Our cul-de-sac was really full at one point, but it calmed down so I went to get a few things, not realizing how bad it was beyond our house.
My first stop was Target. I snapped this picture just before I backed out to turn around. (I could not see how bad the road was until I turned to get in, or else I would not have tried it.)
Another picture of Target using my close up feature. Looks like Target is now on lakefront property.
Wal-Mart's roads were not flooded, so I made the rare decision to buy the stuff I needed there. The roads were fine, but parts of the parking lot were flooded, as you can see.

We're expecting more rain today and tomorrow. We have not flooded in the house, and we're crossing our fingers that we stay that way!

Scene: Cathy sits in the kitchen, eating breakfast in her nightgown. Everyone else has left for work.

*Commotion from bedroom*
*more commotion*
*Listening to dog walking down the hall...but it sounds...off...somehow...*

...because Sarah had somehow managed to put on one of Kirk's shirts. Not only was she wearing his shirt, she was stuck in it! She had somehow managed to wiggle into one of the sleeves. I ended up having to tear it a bit to get her out of it! Silly dog.
