I think it is going to get to flood stage in a few days. I live about a mile from the American River, but don't worry as much as I would if I lived along a levee. If it gets bad enough then everyone would be hit by it. I would think at this stage the Folsom Lake & Dam would have had most of the water released so that it could hold a large amount of rain.
Joe (my youngest) came by today with his 2 girls. I had given him all the ingredients for minestrone soup to take home and make, and he returned some of the soup to me today. Yummy!
I just melted when Keira (the 3 yr old) came over to hug me and said "Grandma, I love you - you my best friend." She and Alyssa are both so sweet and loving. Like all the grandchildren, they walk in and say "I'm hungry", and then go to the snack cabinet. They also know I have grapes in the fridge, and spend most of the time eating or getting hungry again.
They decided I needed some Christmas decorations. I got out a ceramic Santa Claus, as well as a few ornaments from years ago that I don't even know why I kept. I don't like Christmas at all yet I'm thinking I will probably break down and buy a few more decorations and, (YukYukYuk) even a small tree. Since the grandsons from NY will be here for the season I guess it's my duty to not be a scrooge.
Joe got up on the roof and rigged the tarp around the swamp cooler. The wind was blowing so hard I was afraid it might billow out and take him flying. He's enough of a daredevil he would probably enjoy it.
- Doing My Part!
We need rain so desperately and are supposed to get a small amount this evening and again later in the week. I just came in from washing the outside of my kitchen windows, as well as the porch railings and trim. I'd be really surprised,...
- Oh Joy!
I could hear the rain hitting the roof throughout the night, but by this morning it had stopped. When I went out for some errands at about 10 am, the sun was shining! Beautiful sunlight! I have never minded rain although I can't...
- Sunday Rest
But only for part of the day, as I'm planning a visit to the gym this evening. With not much to write about today, I took a couple of photos of the sorts of things I find when my grandchildren are here. Note that two of them are able to write,...
- It's Still Coming Down
No breaks at all in the rain - it's been coming down for a number of days now. That's good for the drought conditions but it is depressing to see and hear. I don't think I ever minded the rain so much until I lived in my 5th wheel. ...
- Older Than Dirt!
Jeannie called this afternoon and asked if I wanted to come over for a while, as they were going to sit out by the pool while the girls were playing in the water. When I got there I found Alyssa (Joe & Sarah's daughter) had spent the night. ...
