Hello My Happy People,
We have been having some crazy weather for our part of Germany. It has not been like this since we moved here in 2015. In the last month and a half we have seen more rain that I think we saw in the rest of the year. The temperatures have gone from cold enough to need jackets to just plain awful hot and humid. It was so humid at times I felt like I was visiting my sister in Florida.
One of the interesting things about people here in Germany is the fact that people will go out and ride bikes or go for walks no matter what the weather. There is a saying here for when someone balks at going out in bad weather, "Du bist doch nicht aus Zucker!" Which basically translates to, "You are not made of sugar!" Meaning you are not going to fall apart if you get a little wet, so let's go!
I personally find that rather funny and use it on my husband from time to time, but I have to say, "I am not made of sugar," because when he balks at the weather it is because he doesn't want me out in it. Which is adorable, but I have a rain jacket, rain boots, and various umbrellas ... I'm good.
But with this crazy weather I thought some weather jokes would be appropriate. I hope the weather is better where you are and you have a great weekend.
Don't forget ...

You are cordially invited to our online eBook Birthday Shower celebration. We have set the pre-sale price for the new eBook for Into the West: Family Ties at just 99¢ so everyone can help give Dianne the best birthday ever. We were going to ask for a birthday card shower to help her celebrate her birthday this year on the opposite side of the planet from her family and friends. But we decided to opt for an eBook Birthday sale instead. This way you get to give Dianne the gift of a bestseller that can actually help her writing career but you get to keep the actual gift of a new book for less than the price of even a cheap greeting card and no postage required!

Thanks all for now .... on with the jokes!!!!

Dianne
