@tansy --I am not surprised!!! These floods are just devastating. I hear and see it all the time on the national news and on TV too. And now I hear another atmosphereic river is going to hit us on Monday??? But nearly as bad??? Did your son have any damages or just trying to get out and about and couldn't. I haven't heard if there were/are any deaths or injuries with all this--that is amazing. My son lived in Duvall and was always cut off from travel. He is now in Maltby.

I heard that, too, @wagirl, and warned him since he doesn't pay much attention to news. He lives on a lake but the drainage system in place handled the water. He's working today to makeup the missed time. For me the rain has just made my old dog reluctant to go outside.

@tansy ---this old dog didn't go out either😁until yesteday--Saturday--was sure nice tho. DD and I went out to do some errands. Nothng out of the usual for Woodinville --squishy ground and puddles but as we live close to the slough along the burke gilman trail--you could hear the water rushing by even from my apt.--didn't go look at it--maybe will today. Brace yourself for tomorrow----another round coming!!

Well-----little update about my new apartment----DD has never seen it---so we went back there Saturday, to go thru it and for some reason, the office was closed!!! Now I did call and email about coming over but never got a response---agent told us to drop by anytime---was really mad about that--no explanation on the door at all, but closed up tight and no lights on --- but we did ride the bus there and found out where it goes and how far away from our place the stop  is--and DD was elated with the fact that is within about 10 minutes of  the apt,. both to go to work and come home!! It takes anywhere from 2-3 hours for her by bus now,each day. Then we decided to walk to the shopping area we like--and that was a straight shot there too!! So the trip was not a total loss--got our bearings first hand. We do get the keys on the 23rd so she can see the place then. Now for packing----oh goodie!!!🫨

@wagirl 

Oh how frustrating to have it unavailable. But at least you saw other features near by your new home.

I think you are both gong to be very happy there.

Yeah, packing is a real pain, but ever onward.

I hope that DD has enough time outside of her job and long commute to give you a bunch of help with packing.

[wagirl]

@Q-Checker --yes she will and does---in fact she has this week off from work so alot of time to pack---we've been working on organizing the garage here to get it ready to move. that will get moved first--then the apt stuff will go---

Wishing you the best in your new house . Yes, its work but once you get moved in things will be easier .

Happy New Year 2026

Did more work in the garage here yesterday--to get it ready to move. Dear SIL came over and we packed up her truck with easy items to  handle and got them to the new place-- then went to local Public storage to check in and then out to lunch and back to the garage to clear out donation items-- that woman is a MACHINE !!! She just digs in and goes for it !!! She is 10 yrs younger than me--61--and still can dive right in!! Today she is coming over to start packing up stuff in my apt---She is pure gold!!! I love her!!!
