flood waters are receeding

The Red River is slowly going down. The danger isn't gone, but they are heading in the right direction. As long as the thaw is slow, they will all be OK. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Please say a prayer!

I've been watching the flood in the Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN area of the country because I have family there. The water in the Red River has bypassed the record high set back in 1897 of 40 feet above flood stage. They have been sandbagging trying to prepare for the force of the water that is coming. So far, by dad and brother are safe and dry, but they are on Red Alert (be ready to evacuate at a moments notice.

They are building a house down the street from ours. Holden spends hours every day watching the trucks work. He gets so excited when they are moving dirt across the street. He also likes to stand at the window on Friday mornings when the garbage men pick up the garbage. Since there is a cul-de-sac across the street from us, it takes them a while to get them all. Holden is in heaven watching them.
