It is 7 p.m. on Thursday. We've had a busy day. This was the first day of the state fair. Square Dancers are scheduled to dance each day of the fair and our club signed up for this first day. It was cloudy all day and misted and then rained a little as we took to the dance floor at 10:30 to 1:30. We danced in three hour-long sets rotating squares so we didn't get too tired. We got a little wet, but continued dancing anyway. We spent a few more hours looking at exhibits and eating our way around the fair grounds. We met back at the car at 4 p.m. and headed home. It took an hour and twenty minutes for the 45 minute drive home. However, we made it home before the rain hit for real. It came down in sheets with big winds just a few minutes after we got home. We turned on the TV to listen to the news and found that there have been tornados and huge hail in southern Minnesota since 9 a.m. this morning. We feel really blessed to have been spared the heavy rain this noon. This later afternoon they got more rain at the fair but we were safe at home by then.
We actually enjoyed the cloudy day so that it wasn't so hot for dancing and walking around the fair.
