There’s No Place Like Home!

A few days ago we were informed by a friend that a picture of our house could be found on the local newspapers website and sure enough our house made picture number 38 of the “Aerial Photos of the Flood” album. I guess you could say that this is our 15 minutes of fame (if that’s even what you were thinking at all), but believe it or not it was somewhat exciting to see the bird’s eye view of our riverfront…errr…home IN the river. In addition to the rapidly rising waters now surrounding the home we’ve managed to miss out on our summer fun activities that usually take place in the now flooded backyard. For example we typically partake in: boating, shooting off fireworks, sun-bathing, lawn mowing (less exciting than the first), frolicking through the grass, beaver trapping, llama rescuing, deer herding, and skunk running…you know, the usual everyday activities. But before you run to your local real-estate agent in search of a riverfront home just know that it isn’t all fun and games like I’ve listed above…the llama rescuing is a lot harder than it may sound!
