Things still aren't "back to normal" for us or our community. We're still picking up stuff out of the drifts and cleaning it up. My husband is still trying to get some equipment cleaned up and running. He finally got crops replanted but they're really late so we're not sure how well they'll do but at least we're trying. We've had some crops destroyed and I'm not sure what my husband's doing about those.

We have several friends who are without housing but FEMA's suppose to be bringing in trailers but who knows when. We've been talking about having some friends come and stay with us for awhile but they're with other friends already so we're not sure what they'll do. We're going on a week's vacation and may have one of the family's come and housesit for us while we're gone.

My son's got his home repaired and they're moving the furniture back in today. He's really been hard at work at it. I think that I'll go over this afternoon and take a look and see how things turned out.

We're still on restricted water. To take a shower we've been getting wet then turning the water off and soaping up then turning it back on to wash off. My husband and Jaci have been taking baths in the pond. I can't wash a lot of clothes in a day just a load every once in a while The water situation will be a problem until they get our water plant back up and running. The newspaper is saying about 3 months. We're not suppose to even water our outside plants and anyone caught using unnecessary water will be fined and have their water shut off. They are really serious about the water situation. Jaci hauled up some water from the pond for me to water my plants. She's such a sweetie!!!

Things are going to be a while getting back to normal. I appreciate your checking on us, Judy.

That is terrible. Are they letting you have plenty of water for the crops? Did it rain yesterday? We got about another inch. It is wierd to have rain in July.

We don't irrigate our crops. There are a few people who have a center pivot and pump out of the river but we usually get enough rain that we don't have to irrigate.

Yes, we had some rain yesterday but it wasn't very much. Not even enough to get muddy. We've been having rain in our area almost every night but we haven't gotten very much accumulation from it.

What a great way to catch up with everyone. Sounds like summer is here and everyone has things to keep them busy. My excuse is (well not like I'm on tons in the first place), I just started a new job, my first full time. I haven't grasped on to how you work, and have a life at the same time! It was really great to hear from everyone as to what they've been up to.
