It is unlike me to be so absent from fu, but we've had a bit of adventure here in NC. As I watch reports out of Texas, &I consider all that the folks in the NC mountains are dealing with, I count my blessings & say a prayer of thanks. I do tend to be a bit dramatic, you know. But Chantal dumped 12 in rain here & flooded my neighbor. As I sit here and watch more torrential rain, I know that our already saturated ground will make for a lot of run-off. The high winds & water logged tree roots might mean even more power outages. The water treatment plant in Mebane got flooded, contaminating the water & knocking out all the controls. We've two days of drinking water left, so we are on retriction. Anyway, it may be a bit before you see much of me. I'm joyfully dealing with stuff. Hugs to all!
