GA - hope things are going ok with your dad. Your mum will be home before you know it.
Brooke - hope the flood situation hasn't gotten any worse.
We had floods near our house in 2009 as we live by the river Shannon and my dad refused to leave the house, so my parents ended up being evacuated by the army where they lifted my dad who was in a wheelchair, into the back of an army truck!!
And the whole thing was captured by the television news so everyone saw them - its funny now
Thankfully we didn't have as much damage as the other houses around us.
