it's been awhile since I've been on here, but today I'm stealing a few minutes. I feel so groggy anyway can't seem to think about anything or do anything except plan for our weekend away and listen to the heavy equipment as they dike our bridge. It's supposed to close in 2 hours but the good news is they're not diking the south entrance yet anyway. Doesn't help me any, we use the north one to to go to Winnipeg or else the west one, which isn't diked yet if we need the doctor.

I should be used to this by now, but each time we flood, it brings heartache to someone. Our businesses are not going to do well and now that my son works at the local motel/resturant here, and will have his hours cut, we are feeling it here too. We also are wondering if my husband will be laid off during this time too because the trains aren't getting through.

They expect the water to cover the bridge tomorrow. That's why the diking today. It's going to be a good three or four weeks before it'll all go away again and we can get back to normal!!

Well enough of that for today, I need to focus on something else and get things accomplished. I have suitcases to pack for our trip to Kenora on Thursday when we get to see our oldest daughter again! I'm excited for that! So are the kids and Derk!
