Thirty Four years ago today, it rained cats and dogs in Carroll County, Arkansas. But, in a little Church in Osage, George and I were married. There are not many pictures of the day. The camera we used did not have a flash. There were so many windows in the Church that it was just like taking pictures outside in the sunshine, expept that the sun did not shine that day. It rained, and rained and rained. Our only pictures were taken by Grandma Gaddy with her little Kodak. When we were ready to leave, we ran to the car through pouring down rain. The doors were left unlocked so we could jump in and leave. No one locked their car doors around here back then. But, on that day, my BIL Mike See locked our car doors. We got soaked trying to get in the car.
Today, I am thankful for George Aday. We took a little vacation time, a 4 day weekend as we often do for this occasion. We were going to take the RV to the lake, but the RV is in OK. So, George wanted to take his boat out on the lake instead. I have been trying to find a way to tell him all week that I just did not want to go out in 100 degree weather and sit in the hot sun all day. I thought he might be angry but I am an ageing red head and I just hate hot and sun. Finally, I said something about not wanting to do this. That is fine with him. If Junior does not work tomorrow they may go together, or George may go alone, but I do not have to go sit in the sun all day and he does not have to sit at home with me and read a book.
