Another bit of unhappy news. The historic village where we staged Mom and Dad's 40th Wedding Anniversary vow renewal and reception was severely impacted by the Midwest floods. Apparently, it is not high enough on the priority list to have been evaluated yet, so only the newest building (a brand new visitors center) is currently authorized for clean up and restoration.
Volunteers will not be allowed to do any work on
the rest of the village until inspectors can evaluate the buildings, which means the mold, etc. is running rampant throughout all the historic structures, as the summer rains and hot, humid days provide incubation to exacerbate the damage.

Eyes opened even more than before - the more I learn, the more I realize how much I can't imagine what true victims of disaster actually go through.
