It's raining!

And the rain keeps coming!  Good words to say after so many dry days and weeks.  I even dreamed that our front door was broken open by flooding.  I hope there will be some clear time today so I can get a walk in.  While I have a good jacket and rain pants, I don't have waterproof shoes.  Let me amend that--my snow boots are waterproof, but the zipper does not lock and keeps falling down, making it uncomfortable to stride along the path.

This morning I resume my position as membership chair for the East Bay Genealogy Society as I attend the board meeting.  The other board members were all glad to hear I'm back.  The group is small, with six of us on the board, about 35 members total.  Years ago I think they had nearly 200 members.  But now that so much  research can be done on-line, I guess fewer people see the need to be part of a group.  Often we don't become interested in our family's history till we're older, when grandparents are gone.  Anyway, the EBGS holds monthly meetings with guest speakers to encourage us all.

I have bought tickets for a trip to Phoenix next month and look forward to taking a walk with e, with her actually walking by my side, not in the stroller.  She has returned to daycare; I hope she stays healthy for a while.
