My brother says it feels like the time he has spent in the Amazon -- minus the snakes. Cripes. Just 40 miles southwest of us there has been much flooding: Findlay and Shelby in particular. We have had some localized flooding, but they are suffering the worse of it. Smiles, Anna P.S. Someone asked for peach kuchen. I am up to my armpits in family right now (love it), but I will scour my cookbooks when we return from vacation, unless you have a recipe already. -----Original Message----- From: padutch-life-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:padutch-life-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Richard Berkheiser Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 2:41 PM To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] weather in your area How is the weather where you are? tracy -------------------- Good question Tracy. For us in Northcentral Indiana, its been a very soggy experience. In just one month's time we've gone from the dryest summer on record to the wettest. The last two weeks alone we've had about 11 inches of rain with a good portion of it coming from Tropical Storm Erin. The last couple of days we've had monsoon-like storms to the point that everything's flooded. Our basement has flooded so many times in the last few weeks, I'm ready to call FEMA. Only joking. :-) On our one basement wall where the water comes in, we have towels stacked like sandbags. Its also very steamy outside with the humidity being so high. The lab results that came back the other day also showed the stale Christmas cookies make great water absorbers. :-) Rick B ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PADUTCH-LIFE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PADUTCH-LIFE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

In Niagara Falls, NY......................... had a few "chilly" days --- now predictions are high 70's/low 80's with T-storms almost every day for next few days. Still better than winter! Eleanor
