Scarface

Yesterday evening, after supper, Xavier was very excited to go outside. Emma was already playing. Apparently Xavier forgot that there are two steps at the end of the deck and took quite a header. Fortunately our sidewalk is made of gravel and not cement. Otherwise he probably would have cracked his skull open. He still, however, has quite the nasty scrapes on the right side of his face.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Hello from winterland

Okay, I've been a bad blogger, I admit it. I must say that since the last time I've posted I've been working 9-10 hour days as the Acting Manager at my work while the General Manager is away from holidays. She gets back next week after more than 1 month away. Needless to say, I haven't had much time to blog.
So the river got to about 24 feet high and caused some significant damage to the north. Although the river has fallen a little, it's still pretty high, however, we shouldn't be in any more danger.
The weather here is very frightful lately. We had a few days that were nice and people were excited that Spring had finally come after such a hard winter, but alas, it was not be. Seems as though fall has decided to come instead, we had snow this morning.
This place is so bloody depressing!!

Red River Rising

Since this photo that we took over the weekend, most of the ice has gone and the river has risen A LOT. In fact, the pathway you see in the photo is now completely under water. We are still okay, however the city has issued a state of emergency for all low-lying properties. It's now being said that this years flood is the 2nd worst flood in over 100 years. Lucky us we had the floodway built after the flood in the 1950's.
I'll try to get some more photos when the river crests
