Thank heavens the twins were here to help carry out carpet squares.

Confession: Brent flooded the basement a week ago and they carried carpet squares out.
Amanda and Naomi carried them back down and stacked them in the fruit room.
Only the bottom three got wet so we were glad we hadn't re-laid them yet.
If the twins hadn't gone to visit cousins over the weekend, they may have all been down.
Only to be pulled again.
One time, procrastination paid off..

The next day.




Who is going to put all this back together again?
I ruined my knees five floods ago.
I don't think there is hardly a household in our Ward

that didn't get their basement flooded.
Ours was all ground water.
None came through the window wells like most.
Our sump pumps worked but in the end,
it was just too much.

My 87-year-old brother-in-law, DeMoin,
confined to a wheelchair,
called to see if we are OK.

Monday 3.29" of rain.
Wednesday morning, people all along the route
with sprinklers going full force.

Sorry about the mess and water. Well, at least you are experienced flood clean-er-upper-ers!
