It's 8:30 in the morning and I came downstairs to check email and the basement was dry! I think we made it through the rain. Maybe the problem has been taken care of. Let's just hope everything starts to dry out now.

I don't think I ever got the chance to recap our trip to Newport Beach, California. We returned home last week after 11 days on the beach. The weather was great most of the time. The highlights of our trip were shopping on Rodeo Drive and at Fashion Island, the tour of the bay, Laker's vs. Spurs game, driving through Beverly Hills, and of course all the great food. Thanks again to Aunt Fran and Uncle Jack for putting up with us for so long. Our next trip isn't scheduled until this summer. We are planning a trip to Branson, Missouri and Canada.
