The last couple of days have been a blur..
We've taken things out of the
house, and piled it all on the street,
for the dump trucks to haul away.
We took some stuff out of the
upstairs that we need in the near future,
the rest we've left there for now.
The mobile home is all cleaned out,
and will be condemned.
FEMA came today, and asked all
the questions they ask.
They rolled off the
square feet of the house.
Local dignitaries & our congressman
came to show their support (or to be seen..!)
Even Salvation Army came
and brought spaghetti.
It was great!
I was too busy eating to
take a picture.
So now, our next step is
to wait and see what FEMA decides.
The code enforcement officer
is coming around to inspect the houses tomorrow.
We're supposed to find out
what aid we will get by Monday.
In the meantime,
we're going to the Hershey RV show.
We're going to relax,
shop for our new home,
and try not to think about what
we lost..
and think about what we are gaining..

that is one hard way to downsize... hope it all works out for you...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great attitude you both have. I admire your moving on with your life. Glad you have each other!
ReplyDeleteOn to Hershey!
I was thinking the same as heyduke50...what a hard way to downsize. I hope you enjoy the RV show.
ReplyDeleteThe photos really tell the story, don't they. Just devastating. The tractor scooping up appliances - such a sad photo.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good time at the RV show and find the perfect rig. :)
Things happen for a reason, but it doesn't make it any easier. We're sending you virtual hugs and support. You'll be stronger coming out of this.
ReplyDeleteGo to the RV show, relax, and have fun. Good luck shopping for your new home. Now you'll have more stories to tell around the campfire...
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess...we are so sorry!! You get a free pass to join the Carolina Clan next year and you can keep George when you get him ;o))
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, we know this is tough, but we also know you two. You will make lemonade out of this lemon!!
Hugs to you both......
Sorry to hear of your loss...encouraged by your attitude and optimism.
ReplyDeleteIt will be good to have a change of scenery ... esp. since you're in a holding pattern until you hear back from FEMA.
ReplyDeleteLove your attitude! Can't wait to hear if you found your perfect new home.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry that you had to deal with this flooding. The important thing is that you two are O.K.
ReplyDeleteMy heart really goes out to you. That is a really tough way to downsize but your attitude is commendable. Try to relax and have fun shopping for your next home at the show.
ReplyDeleteHope that you find your new home soon. Enjoy the show.
ReplyDeleteThose are compelling pictures. We hope that FEMA comes thru for you. Enjoy the search for your new home, which can take you away from these kinds of events in the future:)
