Thank you nohope. We're fine here in central Iowa now. Des Moines' flood has finally receded and folks are trying to do what they can for the homes and businesses that were flooded.

The worst of it now is over in eastern Iowa. They got hit so very hard. People wanted to get back into their homes where the flood receded and police, highway patrol etc., actually pulled guns on people who became so upset and p.o'd, that they tried to break through the barricades. The photo of one family freaked me out. The highway patrol had their guns on the driver and one of them took his baton to break out the window.

Now the mighty Mississippi and the poor people along there have gotten hit very hard.

Enjoy the new babies.
