Not a Drop
I don't even know what to say any more. Just blogging to get some feelings out. What a crazy few days.
Tonight the evacuations came closer to us....just a mile or so away. We are at a much higher elevation, and a mile makes a big difference, but it is a little scary.
I'm hoping to drop off cleaning supplies and/or cookies or something to the relief volunteers tomorrow. It's a small part I can play.
I can't imagine the effect this will have on Nashville in the years to come. Schermerhorn Symphony Center, Bridgestone Arena, Opryland Hotel, Grand Ole Opry -- all flooded.
Not to mention our suffering water treatment plants. Ugh. I don't even want to think about that.
At times this doesn't even feel real. We can't see any of the devastation from our house (not that I'm complaining). I haven't shed any tears, instead choosing to channel my grief into non-stop news absorption.
I'm so thankful that my friends and family are safe. I'm thankful for a lot of things this evening.

Amen. And, I'm so glad you and yours are safe, too.
Hah! I just said "Amen" on Aunt B's post.
I'm glad to see you're handling things... normal. I really really wish I could be there. It's a huge relief to know you guys are safe where you are. If it makes you feel better, It took me over a week to cry about New Orleans. And, then I just cried because I didn't wash my dishes before evacuating and I couldn't get back to clean my kitchen! Yup. Cuz that was a big deal in the scheme of things.
Love and prayers.
Amy
