Hello all! I'm sure most of you have been following the news about the Fargo flood and I know some of you are either dealing with it directly or know someone who is. Our prayers go out to those people. The reports today are that the river has crested at 41 feet and appears to be dropping but the colder temps are partly responsible for that so it's not over yet.I spoke with mom earlier this week and she's fine. West Fargo isn't threatened really but she is heartily sick of snow and weather. They were "blessed" with another blizzard last week. Apparently it was 44 and sunny one day and blizzarding the next. I picked up more than a little disgust in her voice when she called to give me the update. Can't you just hear her?
Here in the Twin Cities we're enjoying a balmy 46 degrees with lots of sunshine. Unfortunately we're supposed to get another 4-6 inches of snow on Mon-Tue. Yay. So glad I live here.
On another family-oriented note, and for those of you who may not know, Sarah (Nathaniel's wife) has had a rough time of it lately. She had surgery for a brain tumor on the 18th which went well. She has a difficult road ahead of her but apparently has a positive attitude about the whole thing. Daniel was here yesterday and mentioned that Bryon and Crystal had been spending a fair amount of time visiting with her along with, I am sure, volunteering to stay with her while she recovers. So, our thoughts are with all the Kemmers on the south end of town as they deal with the challenges ahead.
Here at home, things are pretty much running on an even keel. Our bathroom project hasn't, as of yet, gotten off the ground but I am hoping to rectify that soon. It all starts with a call the the contractor who was recommended to us so we can see what it might cost. That's also the biggest hurdle to get over- you know, that gasping of air when they give you the estimate? Anyway, more on that as the project progresses.
Lots of prayers going out to flood victims and surgery recoverees! We're thinking of you!
