Let The Clean up begin

 Carleton College flood water in the Stadium and West Gym

So the flood had ended for us in southern MN but now all the clean up has started. Rick and Christa and a whole bunch of others went down to New Richland on Sunday and helped his mom clean out her basement and garage. I had to work so I could not go.  It was pretty bad. They got most of the work done in one day so that is good. She cannot move in until she gets a new water heater and furnace. Carleton also got flooded. The West Gym had about a foot of water in it and the Stadium had even more water in it. The whole football field was flooded. It is pretty sad to see what everyone has lost. We were very lucky to not get any water in our basement.
This weekend Rick and I are going camping and biking. I cannot wait. It will be so nice to get away again! It is going to be cold at night, down in the 30's. It is a good thing we have a heater in the camper. Cassie is going to watch Dexter for me. Dexter loves Cassie almost as much as Cassie loves Dexter. I have to pull him from her, she always wants to keep him.
Work today has been busy. I had a homeless guy on campus today that I had to escort off. He was creepy. I also had a medical. It makes the day go by fast when it is busy. Good thing because I am tired today.
Last night I cut the lawn after work. It is so full of leaves, we are going to have rack them  up. I guess that is the price we have to pay for having so many trees.
