Battling floods

I haven't written on this blog all weekend and not even on Monday. We've been battling a flooded cellar. A foot and a half wended its way into our basement. The fire department came twice to pump us out. We were lucky and had our hot water heater and furnace up on blocks and they're fine. Our freezer and the food therein are probably gone. Once the water recedes enough to get downstairs (with big rubber barn boots) I'll try to plug the freezer back in. Oh well...

I did want to tell you that I'm going to interview Patrica Guthrie on the 24th of this month. Here's some info.
