We have yet another icy morning, so I thought a little 'fire in the sky' would be nice to offset it.

Beautiful Annie, reminds me of the Pyrotechnics conventions.

Fire dancers on the icy lake.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, Statue of Our Lady Of Fatima. I got to see this statue when it came to Cincinnati. The statue is taken around the world to various cities for display, in order to spread Mary's message of hope, peace and salvation.

Family pic from my parent's wedding album. I recognize two aunts and my grandmother. Was this typical of early 1950's Wisconsin? Did the men not dance? No one left to ask :-(

I cant say that it is very different from the love I feel for my daughter and sons. But, there is a special happiness from knowing our family is expanding to another generation. Our three kids are now 37, 34 (DD) and 29. We privately wondered if we would ever be blessed with grandchildren. The two boys (I should probably call them men at this point) are still light years from marriage. We are hoping DD and SIL will have another. He is from a family of four kids and his sister is having a fourth child, so SIl’s family culture is for larger families. . Fingers crossed!

I didn't take this picture. This was my neighborhood yesterday. With more to come. The Cumberland is out of bounds, just a little bit. We have HEAVY rain coming Saturday. Here's my basement yesterday evening. It's like bailing on the Titanic.

This was what we saw yesterday morning. 6 Chinook helicopters in a row flying so low my windows shook, the whole house shook and things on the shelves fell. It scared the beejeepers out of us. Literally thought something was falling on the house. Didn't do my heart any good!

rob, I'd "like" your picture, but I can't ... not with that flooding issue. So sorry you have to deal with that mess! Been there, done that.

Didn't my neighbor's drone take a great picture?

All I know is, I'm gonna have massive glutes (loads of five gallon buckets full of water up and down stairs) by the end of this weekend. The electrical panel is five or six feet off the floor. The hot water heater is inches off the floor. If I can keep it below those levels, it should be ok. Wish me luck!

rob, I do feel for you, and wish you the best of luck.

This weather just keeps me inside. I am grateful I have no issues like rob333 is facing.

So here is another finished puzzle.

I can't like your picture either, Rob. Lots of water all around our area as well.

Good luck Rob! We were fortunate at the old house that we had a basement door and a drain in the bottom of the landing outside as the ground sloped down away from the house in the back...so all we had to do was get the water out of the basement and to the drain. We rigged up a siphon so it kept the water level only a couple of inches high at most, with or without electricity.

This is my DH this morning. He had knee replacement surgery yesterday. Was up walking 2 hours post-op. Plan is for discharge this afternoon after one more PT session. Ice machine, and DD coffee, are his saviors.

Oh Rob, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. Are you in Tennessee? Can you rent a pump to put in your basement? And you don't have your son there to help you! If wishes were helpers.... Good wishes that the water stays down!

Rob, I feel for you. I've been battling leaking windows for the last two weeks. I don't mean a little water in the tracks. I mean waterfalls flowing from the bottom of the fixed panes. I've dried so many loads of towels that my gas and electric bills will be adversely affected. I finally was able to get the handyman in to seal everything with silicone until I can get the windows replaced.

Sorry to see your water problems, rob. Before I got my sump pump put in, I would have to shop vac as much as 100 gallons of water whenever it rained this hard. So I feel your pain. We are currently between storms, so I am thankful for the sunshine today. This is a picture from a few years ago of Fred and Carmelita enjoying the sunlight coming in.

Oh Rob! I know your pain! Triggering my PTSD! So sorry you are dealing with this. And anyone else who is affected.

Rob, im so sorry to see what you have been dealing with - how awful. Makes the power outage we had last week seem like a minor inconvenience. I hope the water recedes soon.

Sump pumping away. I "sucked it up" (get it? Flood humor) and bought it. Y'all are so nice! Thank you!
