The Secret Weapon


We have been hoping for rain. There are many forecasts of rain. We get the threatening black clouds, but they usually pass over without paying. The lawns are dry. There is a forest fire up north.
Yesterday we attended our daughter's college graduation. As we drove to St. Paul the skies opened up with a downpour. The event was scheduled indoors, but the graduates were to process from the church to the auditorium outdoors. Mary's luck with rain was holding true. About the time they were to depart across campus that rain started. Shades of her wedding when it began to rain at 2:55 before the 3:00pm ceremony. At least we have the answer to future drought problems. Mary just needs to schedule an important event out of doors.
Things did turn out well. The rain did not last long and they were able to process outside.
Congratulations to our darling who graduated Cum Laude.
