Vacation

So I took a weeks vacation. 5 days to ostensibly get some shit done around my house. Once again..not to be. I have been sucked into setting up an electronic method for getting Mom's bills paid. Which in and of itself wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing except for the fact that my mother owns no computer and at this stage of her life...getting her internet savvy enough to deal with this kind of stuff on her own would well- be more work and trouble than me doing it myself. So I really need to get the shredder going as now- not only will I have to deal with my records, I'll be dealing with much of her financial records as well. So out of the 5 days I had to try to get my shit organized- 2 of them were spent driving down and back to deal with her stuff. So my stuff waits again. On the positive side- I did however go to Office Max and get a couple of file storage totes....baby steps- I keep telling myself- baby steps and eventually it will get done. :)

Memphis Cobblestones: Garrow: Historical Overview of the Memphis Landing

This is the levee at Memphis in May of 2010 when I was last there for a short visit. The water was considered high at the time. This spring however due to heavy rain throughout the mid-south and snow melt from the north as caused the river level to rise to within record levels approaching the great floods of 1937 and 1929. This is what the levee looks like as recently as May 6, 2011. Copy and paste to your browser to view.
