We have survived the storm of the decade

Well, as we watched the local news last week, you would have thought we were all going to die. One local newscaster even labeled the storm, "the storm of the decade," and taking place in January of 2010, he may be right.

Yes, it did rain. But, we do not know of anything that happened outside the state of California because this storm dominated every news outlet out here. Yes, there was some flooding, thunder, lightning, hail, and even a couple of recorded tornado's, but not around us. Yes, snow fell in lower elevation areas, but none around here...to Brett's dismay. Yes, you can see beautiful snow capped mountains for miles and miles, but you will have to wait in miles and miles of traffic to actually touch the snow. Yes, parents went crazy because they were cooped up indoors with their children who wanted to go to the park and play, and yes, I'm speaking from experience. So, we ended up going to Petsmart three times and another pet store once, for MaryMayes to play with the dogs, cats, fish, birds and other pet store animals. She talked about the dogs, cats and fish all week long. One morning, we even woke up to MayMae saying, "Rain?" "No Park?" "Me Pet Dogs?" It was cute, and made for a fun and interesting week.

Thanks to those who called or emailed to make sure we were safe and sound.
