I'm dreaming of a wet Christmas...

So we survived our first flood. Although our landlords just called it "high water". According to the weather service it was considered "major flooding". Either way we got thru it. It was a good learning experience. We learned to get out earlier than we would have thought. We missed our opportunity to leave. Good thing it wasn't a stage4 flood, we would have had to spend the last couple of days up stairs! We got to see what was happening at which stagees of the river, and we have had good family time.





From this last pic, I'll tell you that the river is normally about10' lower. On the right-hand side is where our fire pit normally would be seen.
Anyhow Christmas is under way and it is fun to watch the kids be so excited about it. They spend hours playing 'elfs'. They run around in their little elf hats and pretend that we can't see them. Here is our Christmas tree right after we got done decorating it.
Merry Christmas everyone!
