We had that last night. Water leaked into the garage, but it drained well and everthing important stayed dry.

Does that a lot around here too but we're up on a hill, about 100' higher than the river.

Yeah, we are on a hill as well, thankfully. We are also about half a mile from the nearest lake. I live in a place called Portage Lakes, a little south of Akron. The lakes haven't flooded in a very long time but I live far enough away and on high ground so it wouldn't matter.

While at linner (late lunch/early dinner) with my Gal Pal, we sat and chatted about our Mothers.
We both moved our Moms to our area from far off places to be closer to each of us.
My pal's mom decided that she wanted to see where my mom lived, liked so much, she moved there as well.
So, we are now the Two Moms and the Two Girls.
My pals mom is slipping fast down a slipper slope called old age, but I don't want to give advise that is not asked for, until this evening.
"How do you handle all of this and stay calm?" she asked me.
I, well, we-DH & I, took the reins, there's no more this or that, it's "this is what we're doing Mom"!
We pay her bills, we take care of everything for Mom. She was messing up far too often and getting herself into a heap of trouble.
We got'cha MA!!!
DH gets so upset that my pal doesn't take control of the situation, but I told him tonight, it's really up to her, she needs to come to this epiphany herself, and she will, in her own time and I can see that coming very soon.
