<\/p>\nKaren and I tried to see her old homestead yesterday but made the mistake of trying to cross the river during rush hour. BIG mistake. We veered off as soon as we could and headed home. Most of the bridges across the Cedar opened again today so I went over and got the following pictures. I saw the place was open and I went to the door to ask permission to shoot the photos. The woman who answered invited me in after I told her who I was. They got about 6 inches of water on the first floor. There was still some mud although they had cleaned most of it out. I did not get any farther than the living room. All the old floor and wall coverings are gone due to remodeling over the years but otherwise it looked pretty much the same. You can see the darker high water line on the outside of the house.<\/p>\n
The funny part was as we were talking, I found out she was married to Blane Phillips who I went to school with and who I walked home with from time to time. Small world.<\/p>\n
I also saw Bob and Judy Tosh on 16th Ave. They were cleaning up their old homestead. Their nephew lives there nowadays.<\/p>\n
