Another weary day

1993 was the flood of the century. On a Sunday morning, July 11, I awoke to the phone ringing. Brother Jeff
answered it. Brother Greg was at work. We were taking care of our invalid Mother, due to a stroke. Jeff said
the levee broke about 2-3 AM....he has to get the truck back to DSM, he was a volunteer for the road race
through downtown DSM that day. water pressure down, maybe NO drinking water....he didn't know when he
would be back home. I told him to stop and try to find some water on the way home...On his way out the door,
he said.....by the way..HAPPY BIRTHDAY.....well, we are one month from that date and it looks like the levees
might break again, probably this week. A friend has a birthday today . Water still available. New Hartford, Iowa
was totally evacuated again. Mother Naure is strong willed.....baby Kayley was born at three pounds and is in intensive care
for the rest of the summer....a fiesty little girl.....I think she is that way because she is a blonde....just like
MOM....but a smart blonde.....take care of me you ##$$&*@#!.......it is wonderful knowing the ability of our
medical society today. Take good care ya'll. stock up on veggies in the can, might not be any on the
shelves this winter....Are Victory gardens returning? New name,victory was because of the war.......Aloha.......
