We were just a bit chilly these last few days, but otherwise fine. I don't live in an area that floods, really, or at least we've never had that problem, it's more the people that live closer to the mountains, and particularly the ones susceptible to brush fires, too. Pretty places to live, but there are risks.

And bebe is so sweet, I'll try to get some pix posted tonight. He was here several nights during the holidays, and I went to his house for a couple of days, too.

Tom and Anne will soon meet, though there will be curves in the road. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story! Thank you very much for commenting, and so quickly, too!!
