...fire hose running thru my house!! I swear these crazy weather forecasters cry wolf so often I didn't think it ever actually flooded here.... but low and behold, it rained and boy oh boy is it flooded Thursday night. The fields around us were full lakes and the three roads around us were all compeletely under water. The stream (river?) next to us was so high that the water was up to the bottom of the bridge. What does this all mean you ask... well it means that our basement (which we do actually use for storage) flooded! The fire department was here twice and they pumped out the basement. Luckily we didn't lose too much, and although we haven't finished cleaning up, most of the water if gone. Christian and Wyatt took a bunch of cookies and brownies I made to the fire house last night to say thanks. You really have a new appreciation for the fact that our fire department is all volunteer when they have to help you with something and you chat with them about their "real" jobs and families. And especially when they show up the next day "just because" to check up on you and make sure you're doing okay. A really wonderful group of guys, and of course it just makes Christian want to volunteer even more.
