Wettest Year Yet...
It's official!
We have had the most rain in any year since records started being kept in 1871!
Sometime after 9 pm Wednesday, October 26, a light drizzle pushed us over the .22 of an inch of rain needed to break the record.
The old record set in 1990 was 57.58 inches of rain.
The normal is 42.52 inches of rain.
As of today, the total is 58.51 inches with another six to seven inches of precipitation expected in November and December. Of course, we had next to no rain in July and August.
Before Noah's birthday party, we had the opportunity to go to the Frazier History Museum with Noah's Cub Scout troop.
The boys had fun pulling the string on the arrow to see how strong they were.
I liked the displays of armor and the 'action' figures. Did you know that leather and even layers of paper were used at times to protect soldiers in battle?
Across the street from the Frazier History Museum was the Louisville Slugger Museum.
A trip for another day.

Noah's party included friends, of course, pepperoni and cheese pizza and bobbing for apples...even little Miss El got an apple! :-)

Jim read the party-goers a 'ghost story' in a dark, dark room! The party-goers were surprised to hear their names as the main characters in the story.
See the box behind where Jim is standing? Only the bravest of the children got to stick his/her hand through a hole to feel the 'ghastly' items in the story. No looking!
Here are a few of the lovely ladies of Gamma Xi at the September meeting!
Here are the lovely Catherine and Becky after their presentation on the schools in Africa. Now, to figure out how to move the pictures….
Okay, so I can adjust the paragraphs and, accidentally, I adjusted the first picture…. hmmm….
Do I dare try side by side pictures… no place to edit the HTML! What will I do?!?
Here are the lovely Bev and Joyce displaying our new handbook. Instead of replacing the whole handbook each year, just the necessary pages will be replaced…
