Well crud, all this time I thought the photographer had something to do with it. Now I come to find out it was the camera all along.

Glad to hear that it's drying out. The Winfield kin missed their annual Texas visit because they had to stay home to keep the basement pumped out. Michelle's cousin scouts cotton for a living since retiring from the airplane factory. He says the cotton and winter wheat were all but wiped out by the rain.

No worries, though. We'll show up fully equiped for all four seasons and for sunshine or storms, as Lin once advised us to do, and probably use everything we brought with us during the week.
