RAIN! RAIN!! RAIN!!!

It's hard to believe that it is the 4th of July week and we are covered with water--literally!! Our daughter, Tresha, lives on the lake and yesterday the lake began to creep into her house. She said it was about 10-12 inches deep this afternoon. If more rain comes down from Oklahoma City it will get even deeper unless they open the gates up higher at the dam. Thank God they have their main living area on the upper floor. They had time to get everything out of the downstairs before the flood waters came in. Eufaula Lake is 8.0 feet above normal. They are letting the water out at 40,000 cubic feet per second through the gates and turbines. All Oklahoma lakes and rivers are overflowing.

Ken was able to go to church this morning and really enjoyed it. Everyone was so glad to see him. It was nice to have Derek, Jeffrey, and Rowena attending church with us. Derek came in from San Antonio about 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. He had some battery problems with his car or he would have been here earlier. We will be picking Justin up at the Tulsa airport tomorrow afternoon.

Rowena and Jeff will be taking Ken for his third Poly-MVA treatment tomorrow morning and Derek and I will head for Tulsa to get Justin. Tresha, Mark, and the kids will be coming over tomorrow night to see the boys. We're looking forward to a great time.

I really appreciate my sister and my grandkids. They have all been such a big help with Ken.
