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'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.
