I made it to the alumni tea. The traffic was horrible. There was one high school in that town in the 1950s and now there are 4 high schools. All streets in the direction I needed to go were closed until cleanup after the parade so it took almost an hour to get from one side of town to the other. There were several long speeches so we didn't get out of there until almost 1:30. My best friend and her husband and I went to the restaurant that is in her grandfather's old house and called her cousin who was also in our class to meet us there. The sky started getting dark at 3 so I headed for home and missed all of the rain. I guess it was really a downpour over an inch in a short period of time in a lot of places.
