UNEVENTFUL

I'm happy to say that last night was uneventful. In fact, there were no storms or rain overnight! Both Scott & I crashed hard and neither of us woke until 8:00.

The evacuation in CF has been lifted, which is great news. We are still under orders to conserve energy & water...I guess my laundry & house work will have to wait another day!! Our new sump pump is working like a charm & quite amazing to watch...ask us to see it in action next time you visit.

As things have calmed down here, unfortunately things aren't as good in nearby Cedar Rapids. I'm getting reports via the news & a friend in CR. She hasn't been directly affected, but it appears to be a mess there. Stay dry Stacy & the rest of our friends & family in CR!! I know how stressed we were early in the week & I can't imagine how you feel since it is much worse there!!

We have Allie's dress rehearsal for her recital tonight & the recital tomorrow night.

Who Am I??
