All the rain and flooding

Hearing on news and reading in Free Press about all the flooding. It is terrible to imagine and I expect worse to be living through this.  We have had the on and off thunderstorms that went through Winnipeg.here yesterday and during the night. I have my fingers crossed we do not experience as much rain fall (over 100mm in some communities??) here over next few days as rain is being forecast. I read the list of road closures - any that might affect your travels north west Cathy?
Saturday we went to the waterfront to take part in Canada Day celebrations. Had an ice cream, and a dish of french fries. And Harry went up in the Lakeland Power truck bucket ride. Watched the parade, and listened to all the speeches before heading back home. It was a nice break from usual yard work. We heard the fireworks at dusk but did not go back down to see. Stayed in bed instead haha
Having some fun with the next door neighbours from Holland. They are really into the World Cup and have decorated their yard with flags and banners and have tee shirts and hats in the Netherland colour of orange.
Yesterday the Netherland team played Mexico and they had all the family from the surrounding areas to watch. Netherlands won and now go onto the quarter finals. So I guess the party will go on!!
Time to go. Happy Canada day to all.  Take care.
