THANKS TO ALL for the wishes for sunshine here in Texas...we had a beautiful day today...after a few heavy, morning showers. I'm getting 
on a Picture of the Day~Theme Park thread but this (posted on Facebook earlier by my BFF) puts the month of May in perspective for us in the Lone Star State:
...and the tragic stories keep coming...the latest being 9 soldiers at Ft. Hood were killed when the vehicle they were in was swept off the road. Our neighboring town of Brenham had 5 deaths after they had a 20" rainfall in 24 hours. Now our "neighbors" to the south are suffering...the ground is so saturated, gas storage tanks at filling stations are "floating to the top"...breaking through the asphalt parking lots. And to think...I think it was 3 summers ago...we were in the worst drought our State has seen in decades.

I hate wishing rain on our beloved Disney World but we sure are glad the little tropical depression in the Gulf seems to be drifting Florida's way. 
Sure wish we could send some of this for your garden 
; and just as sure, come late July/August we'll be praying for rain again. 
DH and I have you "beat" by 5 years 
...we'll be celebrating our 45th in August. 
Maybe we celebrate at DISNEY WORLD! 
Love your picture and wishing you many more happy years filled with lots of PIXIE DUST! 
Hope they all embrace what can't be changed and make the best of their time in the parks. DD's soccer team decided to play a game of basketball after the lighting/thunder/RAIN cleared the soccer fields and delayed their game at ESPN.
