Images from the Storm

Saturday morning Mike and I woke up pretty fast.  Water was coming in to our room from every angle.  We jumped out of bed grabbed things off the floor and threw them on the bed.  I got a bag out and threw in a couple changes of close, the dog, and night stand dad had made me.  We brought it all up stairs and hunkered up for the day.  As the water rose in the basement.  Thank the Lord for a pantry full of food, a GAS range and cards.  It made it up to EIGHT INCHES of water in the basement but never got to cold i nthe house thanks the the 4 burners running on the stove.  Thank the Lord that our bed in the basement did not get wet.  The only real damage was some clothes in the bottom drawers got wet.   A few of Grandmas things got really wet and had to be tossed but we all survived.

SAD... my scrap booked  Calendar fell sometime during the storm.... I am trying to Salvage it.

We are alive and so happy that things were not worse.  Praise the Lord from Uncle Todd who borrowed a generator from work on Sunday to pump out the water from the basement.  We are definitely counting our blessings.
