Making the Most out of a Cancelled Game

Last night, as the storm clouds were building to the south and west, we set out for Jenica's softball game in McCook . . . wondering if we'd get a call saying "games cancelled."  That call didn't come and didn't come, and so we found ourselves arriving in McCook to wait out a "rain delay." 

A friend suggested we skip the usual Mac's Drive-in and try out "Tequila's Mexican Grill" this time.  It was an excellent recommendation!  (Blessing #853) As she promised, the chairs and tables themselves were well worth the trip inside!   Jillian kept touching them.  Anything with texture attracts her little fingers.  When she was little, she would approach anyone wearing clothes with a fuzzy, bumpy, frilly, or unusual texture and touch it. 

Chad & I decided to split an order of steak fajita nachos, and they were A-MA-ZING!  (#854)  The pictures just don't do it justice.  I'll go back and order these again!

Jillian loves tacos but decided that a hot dog sounded better tonight.  Between the cool chairs and her hot dog, it turned her bad mood into a good mood.  (#855)

A while after we got home, the sky turned a vibrant orange.  It was so cool!!  (#856)

The girls & I went outside to look and noticed the rainbow in the sky.  Jenica said, "it's a double!"  You have to look closely, but the faint 2nd rainbow is there.  (#857)

I said, "who wants to jump in the car and drive to the top of the hill with me to get a better look?"  Jenica and Jillian were out the door quickly, and we were on our way.  It was a FULL rainbow, across the whole sky. 

"Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”  Genesis 9:16
