THE GRINSTEAD FAMILY

NO MORE RAIN

We once again had no rain last night, which is a relief. However, we do have chances of storms tonight and tomorrow. After that our next 5 day forecast is without rain, YEAH!!

Cedar Falls residents are still encouraged to limit water usage. No washing dishes or clothes & take short showers. Our drinking water is still safe & we are to take short showers. It is nothing compared to CR though, so I count my blessings.

I got word yesterday that our friends Rob & Kari had water up to the rafters of their basements. They were also hit with the tornado a few weeks ago, losing several large trees that narrowly missed their house.

Yesterday, we went to the waterpark for the afternoon. It was a gorgeous day & the kids had a ball. We asked how they were open with water conservation being an issue. They have their own system there that recycles the water & doesn't use the city water/sewer. Hmmm....

Allie had her dress rehearsal last night. She looked good. Tonight is the big night. Mom & Dad are coming up this afternoon. Dad will stay home with Jake while Mom & I take in the show. Jake was pretty relieved that Papa would hang with him...he wasn't interested in a dance recital!

Jake is going to a friend's late this morning. They are playing at his house & then going to the Club to swim. He's pretty excited.

That's all for today. We are thinking of those in CR who are still battling the floods. My friend Stacy is keeping us posted via her blog...it's amazing. Again, Stacy & friends/family in CR...stay safe & dry!!
