Hi Terri,
Actually MS is only killer hot in the dead of summer, and some summers are better than others. Our winter (like now) is generally 50's and 60's most days. During the extreme heat I just stay indoors as much as possible... and before I know it, Christmas is here again!
Gosh, California is really getting slammed! All that rain and mudslides. It's going to take a loooooong time to clean up that mess. Hope none of our Boom Girls are effected.
Hav4boys, MJPEncinitas, Annaquilts, and I'm sure there are others... you are in our thoughts and prayers!
