T.G.I.F. yet again!

We had a few rain showers during the day on Friday. One was amazing! It blew threw around 10:00 AM with furious winds (the rain was actually coming down sideways) but then was gone in less than 10 minutes.

Jake and Carla stopped by after work (to my chagrin). Why was I embarrassed? Because, if you remember from yesterday's post, I left the dinner pots and pan and dishes to clean up in the morning. Well, when Friday morning came, I thought, hmmm, I'll just clean up when I get home...

I hadn't even changed clothes when they knocked on the door. So, the first part of our visit was me standing at the sink cleaning up while we talked. I also hadn't taken anything out for dinner. I reluctantly offered them leftovers, and to my surprise, they accepted! So we ate cheeseburgers and hotdogs (with sauerkraut for Carla and I, but not Jake) and chips for dinner.

Jake put together the new oscillating sprinkler I'd bought at lunch and we tested it out back. Nice!!! We also set out my new rain gauge (the little one I had cracked).

When they left, I wandered in to check TV. Boxing was supposed to run to midnight (and I didn't want to stay up that late), so I taped that (I'm showing my age, I guess. There's no "tape" anymore. I recorded it on my DVD-R). Instead I watched the "previously recorded" last edition of Top Chef". Then I went to sleep, hoping for yet more rain overnight...
