Y'all might have heard about all the flooding in Northern Michigan, but you'd never know it looking out our window. Our water table hit a peak about a week ago, and it's been downhill ever since. Even at the peak it was no wetter than usual for this time of year. Turns out that the Freehold is not in the same watershed as the Cheboygan River, which is only two miles away as the crow flies. All the flooding seems to be concentrated along the waterfronts of our major lakes and rivers, and the Great Beaglesonian Swamp is not directly connected to any of them.
Last I heard, youse guys both seemed to be recovering nicely from your medical problems. Hope that is still the case. My wife and I, not so much. We are on a waiting list for a local assisted living facility. When I asked the lady how many people were on the list ahead of us, she couldn't say exactly, but that it didn't matter. It seems that, when a vacancy occurs, the next several people in line are often dead, so we could move up very quickly. Meanwhile, our daughter has found a geezer friendly apartment complex close by in town. They have a vacancy right now, and we are going to look at it on Friday. It's not the same thing as assisted living, but at least it would provide us with a safe haven for this winter.
