Floods

Know of three couples hit pretty hard by the flood, who live down in the Vinings/Paces Ferry area. Two parents of youth group kids we worked with years ago…one the blogger formerly from Saipan. The fellow in the boat on AJC.com, who lost his new Jaguar at his Paces Manor house is the cousin of our CEO. He runs a company that cuts parts for us.

Our creek rose higher than we’d ever seen it, but it floods over on the other side of the creek. Lots of mud over there, that will soon be covered with leaves from the trees. My neighbor was down by the creek Monday evening, with this 8 year-old daughter and a neighbor boy. Didn’t think it the best idea…15 minutes later I heard a large branch or tree fall, in the same area.

Becky reminded us that Tuesday would have been Steve Norman’s 57th birthday. I posted the funeral remarks from Steve’s funeral on my blog…a pretty funny speech. Will was over playing football with David, Joel, and former basketball teammates DJ, Isaac, and Josiah. Will’s game was rained out…we’ll see about the Thursday game.

Matthew found a lost dog Tuesday, and made all these plans, including lost dog posters, and what he’d do with the dog if nobody claimed him. An hour or two later the owner showed up.

Funny that Oudin was at the Braves game Saturday and the Falcons game Sunday. Lang’s parents are going on a cruise down the Danube River.
