The Smoking area .... - Page 2

I have to agree lots of good friends actually in the smoking area and it does seem a bit weird having my kids in the same boat.. and they tell me all the time how I don't understand.. Wayne you are right I don't feel any older but of course to the kids I am ancient.

Hmm, I remember you all over there, but never traveled in that circle LOL! I remember going to that little dive shop across the street and not being able to breathe!

Reading about how your kids think you are old makes me feel old

. sigh. twenty years? really? it's been that long? I'm in total denial.

Hi all, I am just posting to let everyone know that I am doing okay over in the flood. Things looked prety bleak for a while but with the many prayers that were made things have worked out well and now if they would just get our water back on things would be prety good. I think we lost our primary car for a while though. It may take me a while to figure out just how to get it running again. I am guessing though that the computer is fried soaking up that much water. Our property was completely submerged for about 12 hours and then the water started reciding. Our power came back on today about 2:30 or so. We were one of the fortunant ones that didn't end up with water inside their home here in the Curtis/Chalis valley althouth it was upto and in our heater vents. All but 3 of our cats have been accounted for as of this afternoon and I am hoping to find the rest of them okay. Well, that is our update form the Westside of Washington.

Take Care All,
Michael

glad to see you and yours are okay! I have not been watching news, family informed me that my niece is in hell and high water. Thats when I rememberd you lived close to there.

Michael Compton · 12-04-2007, 09:34 PM

Thank you Tracy. It is good to have friends like you that show their concern.

Saw the storm on the news in Thailand. I am glad you're safe now!

Michael Compton · 12-05-2007, 03:08 PM

Thanks Ed. Many are worse off than we are. Today my area of concern is getting some clean water. For many here, they are still w/o homes and some missing family. We are very Blesses to be only missing one kitty out of our many. I may try to goto LongView later for some food too but I am not sure yet. Anything north of us is inaccessible.

ttfn,
Michael

Isn't that just nuts? Don't realize how fortunate you are till something like wind and rain come along. Hope you find your kitty.

Well, just an update ... I spoke with the water folks and they said it will be at least a week before we are able to have any water. I am glad that wasn't what the power people had to say LOL. However, it sounds like starting tomarrow (if I can get there) we can go pick water up at the water substation for our area. I was able to get some water from our local grange but it is barly enough for us to drink let alone do dishes or water the animals. Yet, I Praise God for heat, electricty and a rundown shack of a trailer that is dry and comparitively unharmed by all the flooding. I will never understand why some have the trials of Job and others seem to live a relitively good life. Myself, I am just blessed with the inbetween stuff. I know both the good and the bad and am able to appriciate the value of having both.

God Bless you all,
Michael
