I'll be fine! There wasn't any flooding in my neck of the woods, but there's going to be flooding in the already damaged areas.
There's the potential for more flood damage in those areas and flooding undoing any progress made.
I talked to my brother today, and he said, "Well, it's not like the restaurant can get any MORE trashed." The worst that would happen is that it would flood and they'd have to pump mud out. But just since Monday, they've gotten all the flooring and drywall and the kitchen equipment and the bar (sob) out of there, and it's pretty much already stripped down to subflooring. So if it floods again, it floods.
But I know there are places that didn't get as trashed as the Alchemist that really can't afford any more damage. Fingers crossed the floods hold off.
Dear hotel person,
I asked a specific question. Try giving me a specific answer next time.
No Love,
Me
Ok - Emeline has A TON of larger, paperback picture books. How the hell do you store them? On a bookshelf sucks because you can't see what the title is. Am I bound to bins? I think I am. Love books. Love that Em has so many books. HATE STORING KIDS BOOKS.
I'm baking pie for a family cookout. I'm trying a new crust made with almond meal.
I know what you mean, Aimee! We keep them on the shelves, but they disappear there until one of us pulls them out, a few at a time, to look at them.

How about a wall-mount rack, like for magazines? Then you can have them upright, but facing out and even staggered, so that you can see titles or covers more easily.
How about something like this, Aims? [link]
Our trip to the UK is finally coming together! After sending out about 500 e-mails, I was able to save us about $600 over what the travel agent found for us for hotels. This means one more night staying with a friend and the shifting of a couple hotels. We finally gave up on the idea that we could see EVERYTHING in 2 weeks. We aren't going to make it to Highgate Cemetery or to York, but we are going to see Buffistas (what trip would be complete without Buffistas?), a good friend from high school, and lots of fun historic and author related places.
Wow sj, you got mad trip-planning skillz.
Burrell, I didn't think I did, but apparently money and a hubby that is staring at me worriedly about money are good motivators. More money to spend on food, tea, and pretty souvenirs.
