Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I am in the midwest and part of the all the dang flooding and rain. I am fine so far. Just everything else is being affected by the storms. We are getting power surges quiet often and its starting to affect the phone lines. I have DSL and its making my internet run really really slow, if I get any kind of connection at all. It took me an hour to get on this morning. If you want to call me, call my cell number and hopefully there will be reception. Dont bother callin the house number right now. Its all staticy or has a huge hum and no one can hear a thing.
I know these are petty things compared to what some of the counties around me and the states are going through, but just wanted to let you know if I am not around that is why.
If you want to see whats going on here in Iowa and the surrounding states you can go to our local newstation website. Its kcci.com They are suppose to have updates on things, but I havent looked at it, I see enough on the TV....lol
Please keep those that have lost homes, loved ones and are stranded due to the floods in your thoughts and prayers.Also the ones that are in uncomfortable heat and drought stages and are limited water or out of water. My grandmother says she has never heard of in her life so many states and people being affected with floods like this and then have so many in the drought too. Lets hope and pray that things even out real soon!
hugs
