Chauffeur drove across town with Grandmomma to help out by picking up Chris. As Grandmomma walked to the door of the school, she noticed something on the curb and thought, "IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?!?!?!" As she bent down with Photographer to get a picture, the tail moved. YEP! IT SURE IS!!! WHOA!!! They did NOT think it was that big. The body was a little bigger than a quarter. However, the two security guys thought it was huge. Grandmomma explained that she has seen them three times this size. Nevertheless, they were going to kill it. She was sorry she told them. She asked, "IF there is a cup, I'd be happy to catch it and release it in the bushes." Both of the security guys were a tad shocked. However, it scurried into a crack between the curb and the sidewalk. Thankfully.

Chris was totally impressed and wanted Photographer to "SHOW" everyone he knew the photo.

We drove to his house talking about his day, the rain, spelling words, scripture for the week, and him eating his granola bar and drinking his pineapple...whoops, the electricity just went...oh! Back on...but the clocks are now blinking...squirrel!!! juice.

It has been raining most of the day. It's sort of awesome!!! AND of course we are in a flood watch. That isn't unusual. However, it is washing out ALL of the homeless encampments in the tunnels under The Strip casinos and hotels. We did drive through several flooded areas going from one side of Vegas to the other. Ahhh...but the sound of rain at The Hermitage is lovely.
