I was out doing choirs and when I made my last stop, at Publix in Mulberry Grove, it wasn't raining. The storm hit just as I was finishing at the checkout line. I tried to wait it out for a while, then got the bright idea to go on home. For those of us who decided to leave, a Publix employee loaned us one of those big Publix umbrellas, let us drive up to the curb and he came out with an umbrella to load our cars. Everyone who went before me made out fine.

As I was walking to my car, a gust of wind came and blew my umbrella inside out with the part that was supposed to cover me flying up straight above the shaft. I got thoroughly drenched. My flip flops slid off my feet, so I carried them the rest of the way to the car, walking barefoot on the soaked concrete.

The rain was beating down on me so hard! I was thoroughly drenched from head to toe. The thunder roared and the lighting flashed and I suppose I could have been scared. Instead all I could do was let out a hardly laugh because, well... it was so much fun!
