Patsy Love the purple dress , ... your mom was really a talented seamstress ..I used to make ornate dresses and formals for my daughter when she was young .. but now, can't remember the last time I cranked up my sewing machine .

The people of VT and NJ have been in my thoughts as they deal with disaster .. We had serious flooding in our area in May , 2010 ... Many towns in our county and others in W Tn had the worst flooding in over 100 years. I was blessed that my small town was on the fringe of the storms and was spared the worst .

I had a close call in June of this year when a freak Tstorm dumped 3 inches in 30 min ...water got way too close to my homes's South side . I have a drainage ditch at the side of my yard and the old metal culvert under the road had rusted out and was partially blocked , and was restricting the water flow ..( I discovered this after the water went down and I inspected the culvert myself, then wrote a letter to city manager ) . City is in process of replacing the culvert ( cut through the blacktop road over it about 3 weeks ago ) .. Obviously , they are being a bit slow about it , but thats life here in the South 🙂 ..we're currently having a drought here , so hope they get it done before the rains start ..
