Fire and Flood

Reid spent the last week in the woods for Guard Training.  He now has a Red Card which certifies him to fight forest fires. 


Helena is flooding pretty bad, and we are living right in the middle of the worst part of it, however, we have been very blessed and the water has been going around us....until Reid left for Guard Training....
On Tuesday we found water in the basement of our rental so Reid had to come home for the afternoon to help me get the pumps set up....
We were lucky enough to catch it in time so we haven't had any damages.  Many of our neighbors have been under water for weeks and are living without running water or heat and have substantial damages to recover from.  We are happy to say that the pump has been running continuously since Tuesday and the water levels have gone down a little.  We are hoping to have seen the worst of it (although it just started raining again as I was typing this)!
