Sara my attempt is for humor here..............



Gosh - it NEVER rained like this until you moved here! What did you do, bring it in from Chicago? The sun was always out - don't bother with a sweater..........wear your shorts.........

Seriously, since I have lived in California this is the third time in many many years that it has rained this hard.........all at once.
This last time was the worst I have ever experienced.

We tend to forget......because we go months without any rain.

I just hope your home was alright.
