Calling off the Rain Dance

Dear Family and Friends, Yes, once again we find ourselves in the middle of a conundrum. And this time I swear I had little to do with it, besides I am sure that it will stop of it's own accord, and it must be all a coincidence. Right? It all started when we had a long stretch of beautiful azure skies, and hot sunny weather, totally out of character for this time of year around here, everything was a little too dry. So we decided to do a little rain dance, and it worked. But the results were a little too successful, and now the rain won't stop. I have no idea how this has occurred, since I only wore my Gum Boots on the front lawn at midnight, and only danced for a few minutes. Dear Uncle Bob, we are so sorry about you missing your golf tournament, but really, how many of them do you need to lose? Aunty Sue, yes we realize that your country fair was this weekend, and that it has been rained out, but frankly, your pie crust, well.....it was a little soggy anyways. Cousin May, yes we know that you had a big bonfire planned for Friday night, which leads me to wonder if the neighbors might thank us for not subjecting them to backyard karaoke? Listening to your neighbor screeching out the words to "take my breath away", for the 3rd time, can be rather tedious can't it? So dear family, we apologize, and must regretfully decline the invitation to your naked suntanning party, since we are busy draining the basement. Oh, and I need to go and buy some more rubber boots.
