Just when I thought it was safe...................the rain she came. The creek she did flow over her banks. And the basment she did flood! Again!  In the middle of me trying to freeze veggies and get dinner going for company that was coming.

Out runs hub with the sump pump to the basement, where the water was 2 feet high and growing. I look down steam and our poor neighbors outbuilding was flowing away. Not to mention his garden is now distroyed. Off we run to help them, me forgetting all about the veggie in the pot on the stove blanching.

Hub runs back to the house for the other sump pump to try and some how redirect the water another way for them. Attempt in futility, but you know guys they got to try. The rain finally stopped and I swear in an hours time it looked like nothing had happened. Until I look up the hill to our house which had black smoke rolling out the kitchen window! Thats right folks the lady with no brain  with the veggies on the stove.

Hub yells, up the hill we run {not an easy thing for a spoiled girl} Ever seen a marshmallow roll up hill?
Bust into the kitchen, oh shoot, where is that fire puter outer thingy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally find it and long story short got a giant mess in the kitchen,I am soaked to the bone, with company coming in half an hour.

Today was good cause I am alive and well but tonight is better cause today is over.
Y'all have a good one now ya hear?
