After all the rain yesterday and last night, today started
out foggy……we left at 6:58 AM and happy to find a Tim Horton’s not too far away
in Athens for breakfast. Always enjoy
a “Tim” fix. Once we were back on the
road, the fog had cleared and turned out to be a beautiful day.
We read about all the flooding in WV yesterday (44 counties
affected) and the tragic story of a little 4-year old boy swept away by the
raging flood waters of the Ohio River as his grandfather looked on. This happened in Ravenswood, OH and we came thru
that area yesterday and remarked about the very strong current. At this point, there have been 20 deaths (including
the little boy and an 8-year old boy) reported. In White Sulphur Springs (home of the
Greenbrier Inn Resort), a house that was totally engulfed in flames was swept
down the river - unbelievable seeing that video. These areas of SE WV received anywhere from
7-10” of rain.
We feel very fortunate and thankful that our episode with
Daisy wasn’t more serious and that the weather was ok when this happened. Thank you, God! And prayers for those who lost their lives in WV and their families....so tragic.
We arrived at Addison Oaks Campground in Leonard, MI at
2:15….enjoyed the AC and read, did computer stuff and took a short nap! Looking forward to no long trips for
awhile.
Late afternoon we did some weight lifting (determined to get
in our 3x a week) and then after a light supper, went for a nice long walk in
the park! What a beautiful county park - it is huge and great paved walking trails thru the woods. Tonight is absolutely gorgeous and there are lots of people here for the weekend!
Hope you have a great one….be safe!
Sweet Blair got to spend some time today at her Gram and Grand Bob's house!!!
