**Spidey** what **Rosie** said plus the warmth of the sun along with the coolness of the water is what makes it feel so good. Also, who wants raindrops in an iced cold beer! 😃 **Rosie** Appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed. Yay on the showings. That at least sounds positive. So, do I look all saintly to y’all after two deheathenizations? No? Well that didn’t take then did it? Actually it was pretty good. Between the two services we had a little “Welcome Lutherans” time. We had goodies, coffee and lemonade set up. It was much appreciated. Plus there was a big Welcome sign. Neat. I’ve had **N.O.L.** and a nappy poo. Nice lazy Sunday here at da cave. ---

**swampy** , I’ll buy that reason but I still don’t understand why the swim club closes on rainy (but not T-boomer) days. Whisky is for sippin, not ice cold beer, if you’re getting rain drops in it, you’re drinking it wrong fore it doesn’t stay ice cold _that_ long. 😉 ---

As the weekend winds down, I’m thinking about what I’ll need tomorrow. I made some yummy chickie/rice/veggie soup, and there’s enough left over for my lunch tomorrow. Laundry is in and folded, dishwasher is emptied, and I’m about to assume the hat-making position. \*\*FCD \*\*is bummed - the Redskins won. He doesn’t like the Redskins. But his Cowboys won, so that helped. And on that note, I’m logging off. See y’all tomorrow afternoon!! ---

**Spidey** if it’s just a little rain shower I’ll hang in the pool. However, around here, usually where there’s rain there’s lightnin’ not far off and it can sneak up before you kow it. I’ve seen lightnin’ hit the water and it’s just :eek: My guess is the swim club closes because there’s always that chance. **flytrap** you just would not believe the size of the shrimp I catch at the fish/seafood counter! 😃 And on that note I do believe I shall go lie upon the bed until sleepy time. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---
