Bettye: I believe nature here in South Carolina kept hitting the snooze button. Hot, cold, Hot, cold, Finally, She decided to get up a little later than Texas. Glad you got some rain. 5 inches in 40 hours ouch! I've seen days here in the summer we get 5 inches in a couple mins. My prayers this year is better for Tarrant Co. TX. How close is Hendeson county to you?? Barb SC

Hi Barb: Tarrant County's courthouse is in Fort Worth. Interstate 35W leads south out of Oklahoma City (Interstate 35E split just south of Denton, TX takes you south thru Dallas and they rejoin just a few miles north of Hillsboro, Hill County and will lead you south thru Waco, Austin, San Antonio to the border at Laredo). Interstate 20 passes thru Ft. Worth and Dallas on an east/west direction- from El Paso in the west to & Shreveport, LA to the east. Henderson County is to the southeast of Dallas, also south of Canton (Interstate 20) (they have been known for First Monday trade day - a huge flea market. I have heard (I've never been to First Mon., but have received some "wild gifts as a joke from there!" If you are driving to Athens, county seat of Henderson Co., you would take hwy 19 south out of Canton and arrive in Athens. Tyler, TX (rose capitol and the rose festival) is east of Henderson Co. and about 100 miles west of the LA/TX state line. If you are familiar with any of these towns/cities I have mentioned, you could get to Henderson County with your eyes closed! Barb, we have also experienced some of those 5 inches per hour rains, but in "these parts" those rains are called FLOODS! Believe me, in our yard, we saw leaves floating across the dead grass tips when one of the hard down pours hit, then luckily those only lasted a few minutes and all that water soaked in, then it was just a steady drizzle between. We are under the most severe drought since the early to mid 1950's. While discussing our beautiful rain, I must tell you a real funny - we bought a two month old MIN PIN on Nov. 8th, and she hadn't known rain/wet outdoors. She was hilarious the first time we let her out the door in the rain. She acted like she had been put in the shower!
