Boy  are we getting  hammered up here in East Ontario  with rain and flooding. Our place is on the Ottawa River which is  the  border between  Ontario  and Quebec   This river is the  major water source to St Lawrence  River  other  than the Great  Lakes .In
 any  event we have had a large runoff  from the snow melt in the north  and we have had two  weeks of rain that filled  all the reservoirs north of us  so the river  has overflowed  ,the worst in 45 years.

We are ok yet but thousands of people  downstream  have been affected.  Most of them  had flooded roads,  streets anf basements. What a mess. In any event  i thought i would send a few pics of our place. Faye and I have had about  six yards of sand brought in last Tuesday   and we filled over three hundred  sandbags so far.We feel very  fortunate to have help from Fays brother  Karl and some other family  and  my buddy Dennis who some of you know from bowling at the park .

I was talking with the mayor of our small Township today  and he tells me that they have distributed  many thousand sandbags so far.They just brought  in another  10,000 today.to 

Would it ever be nice to send some of this rain to Florida  where thry have drought  and  wildfires.

Hope all of you are good and enjoying  your time at home.

                     Regards  Mike  and Faye
