RE: Ike

My dad and stepmother used to live in northern California. One year the
rains were just really bad, the Russian river went way over its banks
and all the little streams going into it were raging torrents. Their
house was on high ground but the water came right up to the driveway. My
stepmother was mourning the loss of her koi because the water went right
over the koi tank - like an aboveground pool, she didn't have a pond -
anyway the whole thing was submerged for days, she figured they had been
swept out. But a couple weeks later they were cleaning up the debris and
up to the surface came the fish, begging for food. They had just
hunkered down at the bottom of the tank and waited it out. I hope your
turtles are dug in someplace too.

Thanks Cyndi, appreciate it.   Perhaps, but that can wait.   Some of the

pictures my mom has a copy of, I've since found out, so I feel a bit
better about
that...especially the ones of family members long passed.  At  the time
it is
more painful since emotions are already running so  high.  Either way,
we
have so much to be grateful for, things could have  been much worse, so
we were
very fortunate. Despite how bad our  situation is to us, it's still
nothing
compared to so many others, so we  really are so grateful and feel such
sorrow
for all those that have lost  homes and lives.

I do hope though that we find the two turtles soon. We do  rescue and
rehab
for the Gulf Coast Turtle and Tortoise Society.  These are  native box
turtles
that were brought in for rehab, so they are not quite ready  to be
released
yet, but thankfully these were not the ones on medication.   But I still
worry
about them.

Thanks again.

Yike!  It's good to know you and yours are okay, though. I hope cleanup
goes fast,  and maybe you can find a good photo restorer for  your
pictures.
