Yesterday Wayne and I rode our bike to the clubhouse for lunch.  I wore my new bike helmet (which cost one-third the price of the bike!), slung my purse over my shoulder, and off we went, free as two lovebirds. The wind wasn’t so bad this time. Because we were hot and sweaty when we arrived, we decided to eat indoors in the air conditioned room to cool off. 



Unfortunately, we weren’t all that had cooled off.  So had the weather.  We looked up at the sky with darkening clouds and started for home, peddling for all we were worth, keeping a look out for the gathering thunder clouds.  We had miles to go . . . (okay, two miles) when it started.  Yup, Florida has really strong winds, but it has something else I failed to take into consideration.  Rain.  Lots and lots of pelting rain.  I consider myself baptized.
