we have gotten somewhere between 7.5 and 8.5 inches of rain in 72 hours...
roads were closed and things washed away...
homes and businesses flooded...
there was a stiff wind yesterday, too, as Craig ventured out on foot to grab some photos of what was happening around us...
its turned much cooler now and feels more like winter, even though it looks like spring here...
friends of ours, and others like them, have lost their home...
one that took him 2 years to re-do from the ground up...
for his family...
he was in tears yesterday...
wondering what will be now...
where they will end up...
prayers for this family and others would be appreciated...
they are staying with family now...
FEMA is coming in...
and I know they do help...
pretty quickly...
life can change so fast sometimes...
but God has a plan for them...
a bigger plan than they can ever imagine...
and they will get through it...
just really hard to imagine everything being ok again right now for them...
hope you are all safe and doing ok...
we are fine...
and Doug is getting his apartment next Monday...
yeah...
been with us for two and a half months now...
we are all ready for moving day!
;0)
I am ready for some slow down time...
just to not think or do anything for a week or so...
no holidays...
no shopping...
no planning or decorating...
just hanging out in my jammies as winter floats on by...
maybe literally...
water is going down in the yard slowly..
and it is so full of corn stalks...
glad we have a couple months to get it all cleaned up...
going to be a fun spring...
;0)
