Later David and I met Robyn & Hudson for lunch and afterwards, David and I went down to view Riverside Drive, or what is left of Riverside Drive. As the name implies, this is the main drag that goes beside the Cumberland River here in Clarksville. It is such a mess, I feel for the business owners and their employees. There is so much water still and the receding has yet to begin. They have said that the Cumberland River has crested at over 62 feet; and it will not get below flood stage until after 8 PM on Friday. These people will need monies to clean up their properties, replace damaged equipment and of course, their employees are not able to work! We stood on a hill overlooking the river and we kept saying to each other that this was unbelieveable. Some of you who knew me in 1999 remember the tornado that tore across Clarksville and had me scared to death because I was in California and my family was right there in Clarksville. I know this southern town has spirit and their people have shown it time and time again. They will come back!
This is the street sign for Riverside Drive....but there is no road visable!
When I first came to Clarksville, I worked in the beauty shop that was in the back of the building in the foreground.
When we returned from our excursions today, I began checking my emails and got a BIG surprise! We had an email from Prudential, our property management company, who just informed us that our rentor will be vacating the property on June 3rd instead of September 3rd due to him being military and is being relocated! I am so excited; can’t say that David is, but I sure am. We have made a commitment to the managers of this RV park that we will be here for the entire summer and will have to work that out. The wife is having heart surgery later this month and we will certainly not leave them high & dry. Either way, we have a lot of work to do and I'm so excited to get in our house sometime this summer rather than the fall!!
Well, that is the most of our news for the day, hope all of our friends are well and enjoying the pretty weather!!
