I think that the sun came out for a bit on Wednesday..but other than that, we have had nothing but rain. We really need the rain, so I am complaining..it would be nice, however, if it would come down a bit more slowly so the water could seep into the ground. I guess the Valley is worse off than us...they are having quite a bit of rain down there & this has caused quite a bit of flooding. Now Flagstaff, which is north of us, has really been getting snow & I wouldn't be surprised to get up tomorrow to a lot of snow on our ground. One good thing..snow doesn't stay here for more than 24-48 hrs. The kids really enjoy skiing up there in Flag. In fact, the Northern U of AZ is up there..so the kids are having a really good time right now. Unfortunately, from what I have read, CA has had some bad problems. All that mud out there has to get to people after a while. It's amazing how many people come back & build in areas which "could" fall off into the ocean. I guess they really like it out there...but once I had any idea that my house would be "falling" into the ocean, I think I would be gone & I wouldn't come back. Of course, I don't know what their circumstances are either...so that could have a lot to do with how they handle things. It would seem as though many people are having their fair share of "unusual" weather. Some say that this is a sign of an early spring. Well, let's hope so!! I too have been concerned about Paula. I would say it's a pretty good bet that she's still over at the hospital with her husband. It had to be a pretty bad asthma attack in order for the ambulance to come to their home & then for him to be in ICU. When I was so sick in our ICU up here...Paul was there every day for me. He slept there with me at night & only came home long enough to put the dogs outside. They had told him that when I was first brought in that I wouldn't be alive the next day. He was totally "wiped" out after he spent nearly a week there with me. The day that his brother called him & he didn't know who he was talking to, the staff in the ICU told him to go home & get some sleep. He finally did & that same day they transferred me to a regular room. He has been through so much with me in the past 8-9 yrs. We are praying that perhaps the best is in store for us from now on. I can only hope that Paula comes home to get some rest; however, I'm sure that she prefers to stay there with her husband, so I can understand if she wants to stay there with him. Glad to hear that Gene is feeling better. Bronchitis can really caused problems..no matter how old a person is. That's great that your Grandson got to go back to school. I'm sure he was anxious to get back..especially if he was out for any amount of time. Let's us know if there is any other way that we could make your brother have another "happy" day. I'm sure that many on the list would be happy to do so. Of course, he's wise now to the 'anonymous' people writing to him...but I'm sure he would like to receive a card wishing him a good day? I've been in a nursing home at least twice in the past few years & I know what it's like in there. It gets lonely & it's always nice to hear from others. ~J in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "busbys martins" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 3:04 PM Subject: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Weather > Hi All...well as soon as I had said it was a beautiful day this > morning...clouds started poping up everywhere.It has been a pleasant > day, as far as temperture but a little windy, especially when the sun > goes behind a cloud.
