It rained all night and the creek was already high, so this morning the field next door and across the street are flooded and there’s a raging river going down my driveway. Our house and yard are on a hill so we’re okay, but DD’s car can’t drive up our rough and rutted driveway, so she parks at the end. The water was up past her doors.

Did you see any severe weather where you all are?

Ack!!!!!


Soooooooo

Is the car old enough that it will be ok when the water goes back down?

(The new cars with all of that electric stuff bust when sneezed on )

Who's sneezing? Have you got a mask?

Our river is 2 feet above flood level and rising! High winds and branches down all over.

Here we've been needing rain, and you got it ALL. You could share some of it.

The trampoline is up. The kids got to test it out, before it got dark. They slept in the tent last night too. They had a big day yesterday, and were too excited to go to bed early, so we let them stay up pretty late. They're still sleeping.

I had ordered a Johnny Apple Peeler. Yesterday, I got to try it out. It's FANTASTIC! I started with peeling, slicing, and coring apples, on the factory setting. I went through a bag of apples in no time. I decided we were having mashed potatoes for supper, and adjusted it, to peel potatoes. I did reduce the tension on the arm, slightly. It went through 5 # of potatoes lightning fast. When there was just Dh, and me, I didn't really see the need for one. With 6 of us, it's a time saving device, that's well worth the expense.

We got one from a Christmas Tree Shop. Yes they do work great when adjusted right.

Raining here like crazy also. Sucks in my garage with steel roof. I can't even hear a radio. Should be quiet if I ever get around to insulating it.
