Earlier this week I happened to do a search for "California Hot Springs" on eBay. The search results appeared on my screen just as the satellite service failed. I looked at the list of results and saw "Hilltop House" -- one of the historic names of this house. My heart raced. I clicked and got a satellite error. I continued to click obsessively. Finally the page loaded and I found an old picture of our house. I attempted to bid, but the satellite was out for hours and I kept the eBay page opened on the screen, to who off to everyone I could. "Everyone" included my mom, husband, and 3-year-old son who were also caught inside during one of the rainiest days in our memory. The storm passed, a few days passed, and here we are waiting for the arrival of the postcard.
