RAIN!

Wow - the first rain at our house since February! Actually had a short thunderstorm (maybe 30 minutes). Erin and I went to the mall towards the beginning, the streets were already flooded. Inside the mall (which is only about 18 months old) stores were closing due to flooding - in those stores! In a few places we could see water dripping from the ceiling - but in other spots there were huge lakes - looked like the water was coming up through the floor.
Glad to see this rain, maybe it will knock some of the dust down. Andy and I are on allergy medicine full time now. No pollen - just lots of dust with the natural winds and all the construction going on around us.
I will not be posting until just before Christmas. We leave Monday for a 2 week vacation in Egypt. Will be nice to get away and see something different!
