Hello From Tia Mary -- long of course :-)

Are you guys seeing my posts? I hope so but I just saw a lot of posts by you all wondering what's going on with MOI. All is well and the fires are way to the east of MOI. OH -- Janet has my cell and new Lizards Land line numbers. If any of you have a cell phone number that starts with a 678 area code, then that number is still good. Same for the GA home phone -- starts with a 678 area code. If any of you want my cell, land line or snail mail, just let me know and I will send it to you --- just e-mail me. Cassie (Old Lady Beige Baby Cat) is totally back to normal. She attacked and tried to kill a pen yesterday -- LOL! I had been writing something and when I got up to get myself a beverage, I set the pen on the sofa next to Cassie and she promptly proceeded to make stink eye at the pen and then attack :-)))). Yesterday she walked by me, looked at me and totally "bitched me out". Then she went to go potty -- in the litter box of course. As soon as she was finished, she walked back in front of me and proceeded to bitch me out again! She did this twice when she was going to go potty. Seems that the litter box wasn't clean enough for HRH and she was letting me know in no uncertrain terms -- LOLOL! I have now gotten three med. moving boxes unpacked and one of the large plastic "buckets" -- the largest rectangular containers you can buy at Wally World that are about 72 gal capacity. It was full of my kimono silks which are now on the 5 shelf storage rack that I bought. I have to get on a little step stool to reach the top of the thing! I'm sure I will have it full of fabric as soon as I get the other two large containers unpacked. As for my needlework fibers, I have decided I will mount a closet rod in front of the closet in the second bedeoom! There is a large dresser inside the closet (only place to put it in the small bedroom) and I will probably keep my yarn, etc. in there. There is a rod in the closet but there's not enough room to hang the large rings that hold my bags of floss. I can put a new rod above the closet opening (no doors on this closet) and I will just be able to get the floss hung up and it won't interfere with getting into the dresser or at the stuff I will store on top of it! Once I get settled I will start back on the NP project I am helping a friend with. Need to get it finished and it's a bit involved so I will have to wait until the SMDGD has gone back to the Valley. She'll be here next week and we will do a bit of container gardening. Even tho' I hate to garden, I want a bit of color in the yard. I have ordered a whole passel of bulbs for fall planting. Once they are in the ground, there isn't much I need to do with them. Might have to water them once they start to flower but that's no problem. Since I am in the mountains, there is nothing like a "yard" to take care of -- it's just "natural". DH rakes up the pine nedles that are around the house and that's it. I plan to put in some wildflowers, too later in the year. I'm thinking about puttng a gardenia in a container and keeping it on the patio but I'll have to think on that a bit more. Well, I've sat here messing with the 'puter for long enough now so I will say CiaoMeoW >^;;^<

PAX, Tia Mary >^;;^<

Thank you dahling :-). How are things in your part of ND? I heard on the news that Minot is just about washed away!! DH was in Winnipeg until yesterday and he said they have more water than they have seen in ages! I hope Fred is OK -- has he posted recently? With Google, it's a P.I.T.A. to find anything! CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Wet, wet, wet! The inch of rain we had over the weekend made my just- emerging veggie garden into a small lake. sigh. It's still raining this morning (Mon.). I had to come in with DH because our road is soooo awful it would be nearly impossible to get my car through the slop.

Yeah, it's pretty dire out there and in other towns all up- and downstream. Their highest river crest previous to this was in 1969 and they are, last I heard, 8-10 *feet* above that! The western part of the state is usually drier than here in the eastern part. We've had between 5-10 inches of rain so far this spring, which is more than normal, and they and the western part of Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan have had 14-20"!!!!!! That doesn't even count the snowmelt coming off the Rockies. They're going to have a high river probably the rest of the summer.

DS is with the Nat'l Guard in Bismarck and has been there since the middle of May. The water they're letting out of Garrison Dam is keeping their river way up, too. The Guard is stretched pretty thin right now. He said they'll probably be out there walking dikes until August.

If anyone wants to know how to help out, the best way is donating to the Red Cross. I remember how wonderful they were during our flood in '97. Here's a link to the Minot area chapter:

I searched and the last post from him was in April. His DW must have him tied up again! :)

Please, everyone, send some dry thoughts our way, okay?

Fred is in part of the section which was protected by the floodway that Winterpeg built. He should still be okay.
