Here is a letter my Mom just sent out to family & friends. So well worded I thought I should share!
Hello family and friends,
I hope this finds everyone well & safe. Mark returned home Friday to help with the flood. It gave us some relief knowing he was back home. The boys and I returned last night from Ireland. Wow what a sight when we flew into Fargo, there was complete stillness & silence on the plane as everyone looked at the flood of Fargo Moorhead. It is a good feeling to be home, but not so good to see all the water and all the dirt dikes everywhere. Mark made an amazing welcome home meal "Shepherds Pie." It was my first dinner @ our waterfront property. ha. The Fargo Moorhead Flood was all over the International news in Ireland, we watched in disbelief. Ireland is a beautiful place to visit, hope to go back another time.
When we drove up to our neighborhood last night we had to park on higher ground and walk across yards to get to our home. Our home is fine. I wish I could say the same for my sister Becky's home, Corey's dads home and many others that are fighting this flood. You can't tell if we are moving in or moving out with all the furniture & stuff from the basement on the main floor. Brady's bed is set up in the living room, Ha. The Johnson B & B is back in business open to family & friends, just call. All schools & business's are closed in the area, except for business of necessity, no travel is advised until Wednesday.
Thank you to our family, friends & for all those from all around with all your help, concern & prayers for us & others in the area. The spirit of the people in Fargo Moorhead is an amazing thing. What a community of togetherness. This is what makes a community like ours worth fighting for. They are all in this flood fight together. The Snow has just started to fall & Sandbagging is still in need in the FM area. brrr. We are not out of the woods yet. High winds and another blizzard with up to 14" snow in the forecast. We continue to hope and pray for the best and safety for everyone. I'm thinking a Polar Bear Plunge could happen, if we only had a hot tub for the back yard. ha.
Blessings, Mary
