Good evening! I need to get to bed!
Eek! I wish we could send y'all some rain. We've had plenty.Ditto!
SC is having flooding rains. We have had a very early start to bushfire season here.
Sadly, it's going to be a long season. The firefighter authorities are pretty grim at the moment; and El Nino is going to be strong this season. So, hot, dry and long summer coming up. We also have idiots in the community that have incendiary tendencies!!
DawnM, the report of caskets coming out of the ground is confirmed. One cemetery where this is happening is in Springfield, not too far from where my cousin lives. It's heartbreaking for the families. And there have been alligator sightings in downtown Sumter, and in downtown Columbia. I'm sure they're out in Myrtle Beach and Charleston as well. Columbia and many other areas had a curfew last night. They closed the roads going in to Charleston on Saturday night. Parts of the interstates around Columbia are closed due to flooding, and they closed a major section of I-95 from I-20 (Florence) to I-26 (above Charleston) for safety.
Two of my YoYo Sisters, my sister and her family, and my niece and her family live in the flooded area in Columbia, but are on high enough ground that for now, they're safe for now. I have rooms for them here should they need them. I used to live there too, and I understand that my old house is now flooded. I know of four friends who have lost their homes to the waters and one friend who lost a nephew to the flood. Please send prayers, pixie dust, well wishes, good thoughts, good vibes and positive healing energy to my beleaguered home state. And Columbia just buried one of their local police officers who was killed in the line of duty, a very good young man who I remember as a teenager.
We're OK. We had some minor flooding, but it drained off quickly. I'm west of the flood line and on a different river system with a different watershed. I'm just trying to go through the house to see what I can donate to my friends who've lost everything. I have an extra set of pots and pans in the box, blankets, towels, sheets, and some clothes earmarked for one friend. Another friend will get one of my Mom's old comforters and a set of dishes I was going to sell.
I'm good until I turn on the TV or look at photos on Facebook. This is the road I used to take home and is about 1/4 mile before I'd turn into my subdivision.
At Universal with 2 of my kids this week. Very excited for Tuesday. My best friend is flying in and we will be driving back up with her to my house for a few days.
The latest for us is that my oldest has agreed to take some CC classes as a senior this year. He has some severe LDs so we are hoping this will go well.
CC classes
Can I ask what CC stands for?
