First off thank you to everyone who left some kind words and encouragement on my last post!
My stampin' mojo is still lost somewhere - BUT I did get a fair bit of things done on my to-do list this past weekend - which usually helps jump-start my desire to stamp (when I get the free time!). I won't have a chance to do much regardless 'till the weekend as I'm working all week.
However I wanted to share this with you guys. I still get questions from people asking where I'm from (Saskatchewan, Canada) - and for the most part it's a province of a LOT of flat land - mostly farming and cattle around here - nothing too exciting :o)
Well ever since Tim and I got back from vacation in Vegas (it's been nearly a month now) it's been raining. We've had maybe a handful of sunny days - which is rare. We've actually had more rain this year than this province has seen in 100 years.
Thankfully where we live this hasn't affected us much (except for raining out the occasional softball game for Tim or keeping us cooped-up inside) - and I don't mind the rain too much - it makes everything green and prevents me from doing yardwork (which I hate LOL).
However for a lot of people it's been a HUGE hassle - I know a lot of people who've had flooded basements (my dad being one of them - and for those that remember me posting about his motorcycle accident nearly 2 years ago he's finally back at work (he was in physical therapy for nearly a year) and things are going really good - except for his basement!) and all kinds of issues related to all this rain.
ANYWHO - the reason I'm rambling is to show y'all a couple of videos I found that relate to all of this. Lately we've been getting a LOT of traffic through town as they shut down one of the major highways to Alberta because of all the flooding in the southern part of the province (thankfully far from where we're living) and had to re-route all the traffic.
I assumed they just had to wait for the water to dry up - but it's a *leetle* more complicated then that:
I found this one too:So it's definitely going to be quite some time before they can fix that highway! Where the highway collapsed the water rose about 30 feet - that was the height from the ground to the top of the culverts where the highway was built.
