Its almost April 1st and as I write this today, we are waiting for our next winter storm that is roaring this way. Just when we were feeling we were going to beat the flood, mother nature is going to add this to the mix.
I have been surprisingly taking it all in stride. Where so many people are not, I have come to the conclusion there is nothing you can do to stop the weather. I feel confident we are protected, and as long as my family is safe that is all that really matters.
I got a call from a close friend from high school last night, she is from Fargo, but has been here in Grand Forks for the last 8 days with her Dad, who is in the intensive care unit with pneumonia. While she is here taking care of her Mom and sitting with her Dad, her husband is back home protecting their home, they live very close to a dike that is having some leaking.
She said it all in one simple statement, "All you can do is HOPE and PRAY for the best."
Our prayers do go out to her and her family, in this most difficult time.

I finally remebered about and found your blog sight! Have been thinking about you and Rock alot. Contacted him today and he told me things were ok for now re: flood. Had a great time with Dad and Rose. Sorry to hear about your Vegas plans. Hope you still get to go. Will be going to E.C. for Easter. I ended up winning $20 in our latest weight loss challenge at work. I came in 2nd for those that paid in, 3rd overall. Thank goodness for St. Patty's Day and a teacher named Jamie McSherry. She was ahead of me until and then, and posted a gain in the final week! Keep up the struggle. I'm right there with ya! I've convinced Ken we can't go out both Friday night and Sunday morning. It's one or the other. That's helped a bit.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to post this now. Hope you get it.
