Hi Catherine,
    Well, we finally got the rain Friday, 1.1 inches by 6:PM. The way the
weather service radio is waring about Blanco Co I suppose your mother is
getting her share in Gillispe Co too. Had a few light showers and lightning
tonight also. Judy put up 26 - 1/2 pints of jelly tonight and I put up 7 qts
of tomato sauce while watching the lightning .
