I'm so glad y'all are safe, but what a scary weekend - especially with your daughter's due date so close! I didn't even have t.v. access - yep - I was in the wilderness - so I hadn't heard anything about this. That water does look so dangerous! Whew! I can only imagine how scared you were.

Also very relieved to hear that the river is starting to go down and that they are allowing the evacuated people back into their homes...that's always a good sign! I'm sure that Katie is happy to be able to be back in her own place! Girlfriend, your photos of the raging Black River are amazing and sooo scary! It really is hard to believe! All of the planning, engineering, and construction after the bad flood of 93 must be paying off! Thank the Lord!!! I sure am sorry to hear about the town where your sis lives! So glad that their home is okay though! <br /><br />Hmmm...no baby yet, huh? Yes, you're right...these babies don't come till their good and ready! Hehe! It WILL be soon though! Can't wait! Did you see Gloria's new little great-grandson? He sure is a precious little guy! I'm just elated that he and mom are both doing so well! I haven't heard from Gloria in several days...I hope that all is well and that she is just busy with that new baby!<br /><br />Well Darlin', so very happy to hear from you and that all is well!

But your pics are just shocking - to see that much water flowing...such a powerful force! Glad it is receding. BTW I tried to leave a comment on the first post about the rising water, but it said "service has been interrupted". So sorry about all the damage. Our country certainly has had a lot of disasters lately.

Thank heavens they had rebuilt it in 91 or it could be so much worse. At least it held!<br />We have had floods like that out here..but not in many years. I live in "Riverside" and it is aptly named. We live right on the edge of what used to be a rageing river. What is crazy is to see homes built right on land that I remember as being RIVER! What were they thinking. It flooded out once...but people went right back and built even more homes. And...they are right BELOW a huge dam! I find that amazing. I do!<br /><br />Would you believe that we...are hot and dry and miserable in this terrible heat! I am sure it reached near 100 today. If not higher. <br />I cannot wait for rain and here you are back there having way to much. <br />I am just glad you are safe and sound! <br />No baby? But of course they have their OWN agenda those wee ones! <br />Many HUGE hugs to you, Cindy. Be sure and tell us when the "BIG EVENT" happens! We all want to rejoice with you!! :)<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-71380778499846500402010-09-25T17:44:33.642-05:002010-09-25T17:44:33.642-05:00So glad you didn't have to build an ark after ...So glad you didn't have to build an ark after all! Several years ago it flooded near and around us but most of us here were very fortunate. I remember the pictures on the news though...such devestation. I finished your cigar box today....yeah!!!! I had the best time with it...only reason I fret at all is that I know how creative some folks are...their work is sheer artistry. My work is just "dabbling in a little craftiness" but I truly enjoy it! I'm more excited about the little things I found to put in it. This is my second swap in Blogland and it's been plain fun. I sincerely like to look for gifts and little trinkets for friends and family...it's sort of like a treasure hunt. I also love to see how much bang for my buck I can get. Guess I need to get a life since this is the most exciting thing I've done lately!!!! Glad the flood isn't any worse although I know it is still bad for many. Love & prayers to you, your family, & friends.CHERIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339717663308847703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-58720456251677251572010-09-25T15:32:19.578-05:002010-09-25T15:32:19.578-05:00Oh Cindy, what a miracle that everyone is able to ...Oh Cindy, what a miracle that everyone is able to get back into their homes.
