Traveling with the Jenkins': I Think the Rains have Ceased!

Oh, what a weekend we have had! We are fine, but so many of our friends have a lot of damage! We have the Cumberland and Red Rivers flowing through Clarksville, they are out of their banks! The city of Clarksville has done a lot of work to enhance the river banks and it is really a very nice place. Parks and playgrounds for the children and only a couple of weeks ago they had their annual festival on the river banks. Can’t do it today!!!! There is so much damage, so many farms flooded, people’s gardens flooded and of course the homes that have damage that will cost so much to get repaired; not to mention all the work to move out furniture, tear out carpeting and all of the other mess that goes with this type of damage! Let’s hope the insurance doesn’t day it was an act of God!

We hurt for those with damage….my sister’s basement is flooded, David’s sister’s basement is flooded, our daughter, Shannon’s, basement is flooded! We have some friends who live in a mobile home in Erin, TN, who got flooded out and their car was swept away. They barely got out of the house with their lives, what a horrible experience!!!

We went to Hopkinsville, KY, this afternoon to have lunch with my sister and her husband and then went to see Tony, Jennie, Mason and our new granddaughter, Kennedy Page. She is only 2 ½ months old and the apple of her grandpa’s eye! While I was holding her, she went to sleep…I think I’ve got the touch;-)
