Where do we go from here!

Yesterday was was very interesting day. We had a lot to do here and over there so we could not leave until later. Once finally on our way, I choose to drive through city streets and county streets rather than join the detoured Interstate 80 traffic that was being detoured 110 miles north to to flooding. (Detour took US 61 to US 20 to I-35) U.S. highway 20 though here is crazy busy at times anyway, add detoured Interstate traffic and do not go there unless you must.

So we get to her community, there is still water all over and the river is high and out of it banks still. On the way to pick up the mower deck there was a semi & PT Cruiser accent with police just arriving at the interchange of the two highways U.S. 20 & U. S. 63. So we went the wrong way to avoid being held up there for a long time, very short detour. We made it though the intersection about the time the north bound traffic was able to start moving again. Picked up the deck, made our way to mom's house. Putting the deck back on took some time and effort but not too bad. Installed the new hanger as well. Learned someone is helping themself to the rhubarb and selling it. The person cleared the trees near the corner that was going to so that looked better.

I left three sons working on the yard and went over to visit with mom and her care taker. Here is where things were very telling. While at mom's home, mom was eating, walking being active. Back at her care talkers where she has lived for the last year and half she will not eat or walk and wants to sleep. So we are both praying about where they should live and what to do about home health aids and the like.
