getting ready...

for the return of Big Jim. C. has just finished cleaning the house, bless him. He even polished our front door, which I am sure has pleased Almendena tremendously. We have done so oh maybe three times in the past two years; she wipes hers down every day. Entry was just interrupted by phone call by Big Jim. There has been a bomb scare at the Frankfurt airport, so his flight has not taken off yet. Oh bummer....will now have to watch the Internet for updates on his arrival time. Is for the best, though, that they are doing a careful search of the airport. Still raining here, but we really do need it. Last year, it rained for what seemed like nine months straight; this year, just fits and starts, and this is the first soaking rain system we've had in awhile. Remember, there is an almost 0% chance of rainfall from mid-May to mid-September; therefore, the area depends on a rainy winter to fill the reservoirs. And without it, we would never have this to look forward to in April....
