Good morning all.  Well, I washed the exterior windows yesterday afternoon and within an hr, the sky darkened and rain and hail began.  it hasn&#39;t stopped raining since.  The streets are flooded and it is pounding down on the house as I write this.  Charlie, wish I could send some to you.  Mary Lou, hope you have a wonderful, relaxing vacation.  Will Jim have to take the breathing machine with him?  Robert, looks like we are sharing the same weather.  Heard you guys had some tornadoes up around your way - please stay safe and dry.  Maria, what&#39;s the word from the doc?  Jackie, glad you are feeling better - do you think the pain could have been related to all the rainy weather you have been experieincing?  Mel, hope you are feeling much better - I get that horrible dizziness and room spinning if I go too long between my B-12 shots - it ain&#39;t fun.   The local news just came on and they are saying that it is starting to snow in the foothills and have had 6-8 inches of ground cover in the past hr.  It is 35 degreees here now, so hope it stays above freezing but they did just put us under a winter storm watch.  Hasn&#39;t any of them looked at a calendar lately???  Mercedes and Rose have been somewhat quiet - what are you 2 gals up to?  Shari,  will keep praying for your healing.  Joey, anything new on the house?  Well, guess I had better get myself ready and venture out into the streets that now look like lakes - would rather not, but I have to go to the grocery store and I am afraid if I put it off too long, I may be going in snow instead of rain.  Good day to all....
