Good afternoon, y'all,
Popped in earlier but didn't stay on long; we decided to clean out our garage today. Just wrapped up and Earl was going to take the stuff we're getting rid of to the dump, but then called and realized they close at 5, not 5:30. We didn't have trash pickup yesterday with the holiday, so were hoping to get the stuff gone but now it will have to wait till tomorrow.
Norma, this rain and flooding has been insane, huh? I was trying to remember if it's Lake Texoma you're near, or Murray? Or neither of those? The east side of our town was cut off from the west side all day Sunday due to flooding. People were driving about an hour going south or north to get around the flooded areas and get home. A friend with five kiddos had her house flooded out and are looking for a place to live. Another friend lives in town but has some land outside of town; they have a trailer on that to just go out and visit and work on it and the trailer flooded. Unfortunately, she was storing some family heirloom stuff out there. They were hoping to get some out today and see what can be saved before this next round of rain hits. Guess all our prayers for rain weren't quite specific enough...6 months' worth in 3 weeks is a little crazy! However, we are just about out of drought after being in it 6 or 7 years. The lake our water has been pumped from has gone from 27% full to 96% full as of this afternoon. Most of the other lakes are overfull at this point except way west, and even those have made substantial progress.
Dinner tonight, yeah, well, it's 50 cent corn dogs from Sonic. I made a home-cooked lunch so am cheating tonight for our "staycation" which has been more like a "workation", lol.
Have a good evening!
Catherine
