By the time we all got ready to leave school on Friday afternoon, the cloud burst was looking imminent. We decided to make a run for it. It's not very far to my house, but long story short, we were all soaked, top to bottom, umbrella to Converse. No drier, we raided the closets and found dry things for them all to put on and hung the wet clothes in the bathroom to drip.
Last night in Delaware there was a flash storm. It was Maria's grad party--all the siblings were there with their friends, Maria's friends from near and far.

After the downpour, as they all tromped up the stairs to the back door we ran for towels and welcomed them inside.
Towels collected from our pool room in Upstate New York, from Goa - India, some from St Croix - USVI. I think the ones we splurged on in the Galapagos as newly-weds have all passed on to the place where all well-used beach towels go...
