Liz,
Loved your story. Glad you can laugh about it, too. I once locked myself out of my car 3 times in two weeks...with small children no less. Finally put a "hide-a-key" underneath the front bumper! You have a great sense of humor.

Liz

"Birds of a feather" Right?

It's wonderful when we can laugh at ourselves!

Liz that is such a great story.
I am in Northern California and I am also sick of the rain. Our weather has not been nearly as bad as yours.Our friends in Seattle are enjoying the sunshine every day.
On this day last year our house was hit byb a mudslide and we lost everything on the 1st floor.We have it back in shape now and cross our fingers with every rain storm.

Well, glad it was mostly sunny today with a brief period of Thunder, Rain and Hail, of course, unpredicted because I have a rental car and my umbrella was in the shop with my car getting serviced! And my service guy even said, you won't need this - look how beautiful it is - not a cloud in the sky!

Liz - here is a covershot of Teri Hatcher:

Kathy---LOL, ok, glad Terri Hatcher doesn't look like Phyllis Diller, LOL, LOL, LOL.

And, lesson learned, these days in SoCal, ALWAYS carry your umbrella, LOL. I always leave mine in the car, so, like you, if I were in a rental, I'd have no umbrella.....Looks like MAYBE we won't have any rain this coming week, although it's supposed to be cloudy most of the week. I'm even tired of that...so much gloom all the time, and everything so damp!!! I guess we're kind of spoiled, here. What I can't STAND is how fast people drive even in the pouring rain....In one day, going to and from work on the 71, I saw 2 overturned cars....... Well, maybe spring will finally come in March (we can only hope). Liz

Bette---how awful that you got hit by a mudslide...were you worried this year about that happening again, or did they do something to shore up the surrounding terrain? I understand you all up there are getting hit also, but not as hard as down here. I can't imagine how awful it would be to have mud everywhere in my home. Times like these ALWAYS make me stop whining (momentarily, LOL) and count my blessings!!!!!!!
