Hey y'all

We've never been called "Sir" or "Ma'am" so much in our whole lives. The grocery store clerks, people in Sam's Club, people in restaurants, all address us with Sir or Ma'am. We are not sure whether it makes us feel important or old. 

Every time it rained hard in our town of St. Johns, Norman loved to drive out to the Big Hollow to see how deep the water was running. He would guess 2 feet? 4 feet? or sometimes more (whatever that was). But it was always a guess. In Abilene, it rained super hard so of course we got in the car to check the water running in the nearby drainage area and what did we find to our great delight--a Measuring Stick!!! For your information the water measured a foot deep on the low area of the road. Too bad they don't have a nice measuring stick down in the drainage area itself, then Norman would be tickled pink, I mean blue.
