There's a craft show here on the 6th that Bonnie and I are participating in as we did last year. I got all set up at the table and John settled in on the passenger seat of Harvey and read his book. Then I got a call from Sandi, the co-ordinator of the craft show. She said that because of all the flooding the craft show was being postponed until the first Saturday in March. Not only will Bonnie and I not be here, but we are participating in another show at Mixon's Fruit Farm that day. I was disappointed, but certainly understood. It won't dry out in time for the outside stands and parking would also be a problem. Some of the people here have water inside their homes and several of the roads are flooded. Tomorrow they are having some of the water in the lake pumped out! I finished my pins in time to get ready for supper. John grilled boneless pork ribs while I cooked corn and made a salad. It was really windy outside and still pouring, but John got the job done. It was delicious! Then we went down to BINGO at the Front Clubhouse. I told John I felt lucky tonight. Well, Holy Cow...I won 3 times including the cover all. I raked in $50 and only spent $6!! How's that for a nice profit. And John won a lucky number drawing a got a roll of paper towels. It was a good night. We got back about 9:00, played 2 games of 5 Crowns...Johns creamed me again, and then we went to bed. Gotta get up early tomorrow for breakfast down at the clubhouse and then I have to be at the chiropractor's office by 9:00. Bonnie recommended this guy because a friend of hers used him and was very pleased. I hope I get some relief, too!! BTW...we got between 6 & 7 inches of rain since Tuesday. The weatherman said today that the average rainfall for January is 1.94 inches. So far this year they have had almost 13!!
These 2 pics from in front of the clubhouse. You can see why they don't think it will dry out in time for the craft show next Saturday! |
This is across from the clubhouse that they use for overflow parking for the show...don't think so!! |
This is a canal along the entrance to the CG. It is usually almost dry! |
This is 2 roads behind us. |
Some people are still smiling amidst it all...so clever! |
The rest of the pictures are of the pond overflowing... right into some of the permanent homes! |
This is where they are going to pump water out. |
