So Saturday night we started to get some rain. So the boys (Rich and our neighbor Joel) were checking out the yards to see what they needed to do so we could keep our hillsides and not become a duplex! Well, at about midnight they stopped checking on things and we just went to bed. Well after a night of heavy rains, lightning and thunder, we woke up to the sad realization that the precautions were not sufficient. Now, we are not duplexes by any means, but all the water from the two houses above us channeled down into our yard bringing inches of mud from the hills onto our freshly laid sod. So Rich and I began to shovel it off. We were able to get a couple Joshua students to help for about a half an hour which helped a lot, but we know we will have a lot to do to make it really ready for next time. Which, as I just read the weather report, is probably tonight, and we for sure are not prepared. But we will just have to meet that tomorrow. Of course, we are going to Fresno in the morning, so we won't really be able to do anything about it then either, oh well. Rich was pretty sad, of course, it could also be because he turned 30 today! It's great, when people ask Ellie how old he turned, she says, "he turned old today", classic!
