How Wet Was it Friday? It was so wet that...

1. We had to spread over 50 bales of straw to stand in the tent plus lay a plywood path.
2. Laura couldn't get her car out to drive home and Hunt had to come rescue her.
3. The septic tank wouldn't perk...therefore, no flushing, bathing or showers for 24 hours!!
4. Water flowed over the driveway all afternoon.
5. Jon Fruetel and Mayo Sexton's chairs sunk until their chins were level with the dinner tables.
6. We shuttled 96 people from Hayneville Baptist that night.
7. We sunk a truck in the backyard and a caterer's trailer by our driveway.
8.The ditches on Barrett Road and on our driveway were full to the top and overflowing.
9. Ladies wore tennis shoes (old shoes/boots/rain boots) with their dresses.
10. People had to kayak into the tent.
11. Dad unpacked his scuba gear.
12. The bartenders stood in water to serve drinks.
13. Mom almost didn't wear the outfit that she bought for the rehearsal dinner and switched to black pants and boots until Anne phoned from the rehearsal to convince me to stick with Plan A.
14. Jon Fruetel asked if the "second pond"/pond had ever reached the house.
15. We had a pond in the back yard/old garden spot...ask Greg if you don't believe me.
