flooding: VOICES FROM THE FLOOD: Flood Victims Wendell and Michelle Thank Volunteers with a PARTY! - 09/22/08 10:59 AM
 
What can you say about people who throw a party for people that helped them?
Michelle and Wendell, and their friends, put it all together-community, neighbors, family, fun, food, music, sun-and gratitude-for the volunteers that helped them all out during the flood-the video says it all and it looks like home to me! 
 
 
Michelle, Wendell and their daughter are enjoying near-normal lives as they work on their home:
 
 
 
And of course, there are more great vidoes and pics right here from the party!

flooding: UPDATE: Voices From The Flood: Sandbags, sweat and tears.... - 07/24/08 09:00 AM
 

Imagine having to lift the sandbags again.
Like snowdrifts all over town, they were brought to the curb one by one
 and left for the front-end loader. Hundreds of thousands of them.
More sweat.
Millions of dollars in damages. Homes are still in the process of being lost.
It takes a while when there are a few thousand homes affected to figure out what stays and what goes.
A business may close up in Jefferson, flood damaged: 300 good jobs, maybe lost.
More tears to come.
Some businesses are closed already, some aren't open yet.
We have normal water use now, … (13 comments)

flooding: Grab a life jacket and have a seat! - 04/03/08 11:57 AM
 
 
 (Along the Rock River-SHS photo)
 
...it seems like lately,
everything is pushing the limits.
Mortgages, housing inventories, foreclosures-
Unavailable, too tight, too high or just too many to run away from.
When the river comes up, you never know what it is going to bring with it.
One thing it does bring is rich silt.
New ground to plant in.
In Egypt, they depend on a flooded Nile delta, now and for thousands of years,
to renew and replenish the land.
Ok, the glass is overflowing-
Grab a paddle and get ready to grab a shovel-soon!
