Road closed!

We rode 20 some miles on a closed road due to high water. Supposedly it was to reopen at 10:00 am. All morning big equipment passed. When I got there at 10:30, the closed sign was still up. The debris was being scraped off the road underwater in preparation of opening. So, there was little choice other than to walk across and have wet feet all day.

The sweet surprise of the day was at mile 45. It was now hot and near the end of the day. My feet were still wet so it was just time to go swimming — how very pleasant – even in knickers. My shoes are drying outside now.

Retta, you look great! Love the pictures and comments. Why didn't you just take off your shoes and walk in the water barefooted? It turned cold here....32 this morning so we had to cover up the new blooms.
Got that west Texas drawl yet?
See you soon.

Hi Retta
We had water over the roads here in Rolla this past week too! Praying for you daily!
