Too much rain, too little sun

We are so tired of all this rain. Or did I already tell you that? Woke up this morning to water in the basement so I was down there about an hour and a half pushing it with a squeegee mop towards the drain. There are dips where it collected and they just kept filling up as I swiped through them. The water is coming in on three sides of the foundation. Dad patched all the holes in the walls but this appears to be getting in at the bottom of the walls. Grrrrr!
Yesterday about mid afternoon, we had a terrific down-pour that was likely the cause of the basement getting it. It rained during the night and was raining when we woke up this a.m. about 5:30 so maybe it rained the whole night, for all we know.
I took the umbrella when I walked the dog. My head and shoulders were dry and the arm holding the umbrella. The rest of me got wet. I've three pair of V.V. track shoes I rotate. What fun!! (#%*@%*) (Katie, Grandma was saying there,'Oh, my! Dear me! ') How come you can't buy rubber boots for women? They could have roses painted on them or something to make them appealing to ladies.
