Gayle, Bay City area has been really dry. Matagorda on the other hand got some rain a few weeks ago had greened up quite a bit. Yesterday when I was there, I didn't go all the way to Bay City. I traveled north on 521 to 60 and turned south toward Matagorda. I call on the LyondellBasell plant that is between Wadsworth and Matagorda. Sometimes I take people to lunch in Bay City, but didn't yesterday. Everything looked really green!!! Some rain had come through on Friday and it was amazing how quickly the grass and trees had greened up. The grass beside the road actually could use a mowing.

The only thing the guys might want to check is for roof leaks. It started raining here with a storm on Friday evening and it rained off and on all day yesterday and some again last night. Our house has developed a roof leak. We just discovered it last night so haven't had a chance to check it our. Not sure if it's because the roof and everything had dried out so much or what. Rex thinks it's a copper pan we have in a valley on the roof. A solder joint may have broken or something. He will probably get up there today and check it out. Melissa was over Monday evening with her big English Bulldog Mack, and I was blaming him for peeing on the dog bed in the laundry room. There was way too much liquid to have been a yorkie, and when I threw the dog bed in the washer and mopped and cleaned it all up, it came right back in a little bit. We started looking for where it is coming from and think it's the copper pan.

We got about 3" of rain over a 3 day period and the grass is really appreciating it.

Marilyn, I hope the leak isn't too bad and that Rex can get it repaired today.

We only had 1/2 inch of rain over the weekend, but it is amazing at what that little bit did to green things up!

Sorry about the roof leak Marilyn. Yes, Gary does need to go down to fish camp and see how things are doing.

I'm glad that you got some rain, Marilyn, but sorry that you have a leak. We used to have one in our bathroom and had a really hard time getting it stopped. I still have a faint spot on the ceiling from it. I hope that it's an easy fix.

I hope the roof leak is fixed Marilyn. It's funny - I always blame the dogs whenever there is water on the floor! I never take into account that I might have splashed or spilled it myself.

I had the roof leak twice this winter, so I called our condo manager. It's not the roof, as it turned out. I have a skylight, and no gutters on my roof. When the snow gets too heavy up there, it will squeeze through the sealant around the skylight, and leak onto the floor. No matter how much it rains though, it never leaks through. The manager, Wendy, told me that I am responsible for getting somebody to clear the roof of snow. I didn't. It never leaked after the first 2 times.

I am finding out that they are responsible for almost nothing, even though this is a condo!!! It also seems that it depends on who you are. Nice, big Christmas gifts are sooo important! I also never complain about any of the workers. Last Monday, Dave, our garbage collector actually rang my bell because I had no garbage out! I had forgotten anbout Monday's pick up.
