Saturday was quite the day.

Hubby and I arose early in the morning to go to his Uncle Charlie's funeral in NJ.

Uncle Charlie was 91 years-old and lived independently; then he fell and fractured his hip.

The hip replacement surgery was successful, but a few days after the surgery his 91 year-old body had all it could handle and shut down.

Back to the trip to NJ. When we left home at 5:30 AM it was raining gently.
This was a good thing, since the ground was parched from the previous week of ninety-plus temperatures.

We stopped in Wind Gap, PA for breakfast. When we left the car, there were only a few drops of rain. When we left the restaurant there was a deluge.

It poured like that almost all the way to our destination. The water wasn't ponding on the roadway, it was forming lakes.

We passed one accident scene in the opposite direction, where an SUV rolled over. Not a hard thing to do in that weather.

In NJ we passed a mini-van on fire. The emergency and rescue vehicles were out en masse trying to put the fire out. I sure hope everyone got out okay.

By the time we arrived at the funeral home the rain ceased and the sun came out.

Hubby enjoyed visiting with all of his cousins he hadn't seen in a long time.
It was amazing how many of them looked like their parents did at the same age.

The ride back home was enjoyable. Sunshine all the way and traffic that was tolerable.

On the news that evening, the weatherman told of the area we were in as having an enormous amount of rain in a short time.

He was absolutely correct. The good news was, we didn't see an Ark.
