Glad you are safe. So, no flooding in your area?

BlackBerrypatch here,

I'm just seeing this as we are preparing to move in 4 months. Our home flooded and we lost everything. The flood was something here in Central, Louisiana. We are well, but displaced and extremely tired. We found a place to rent for now. We were homeless for several months. It was strange to see 21 years of marriage on the curbside, in front of our home.
We are selling the home we lived in for 11 years. It would be hard to rebuild it, and we intended to buy a new home now that we are both finished with our educations. Our kids are leaving for college in April so we've decided to move out west. We are looking for rental property out there until we can buy, relocate, and find work.
I hope the rest of you are well. I loved getting to know you all. If I don't see you before we leave for the mountains please visit us anytime!
Kindly,
Blackberry Patch

I'm so sorry for all your soggy troubles. We were lucky to escape flood damage. Two more miles further down the road and we'd have been in a big mess.

We hate to see you go, Blackberry Patch, but wish you the best and a happy life in the west. Maybe our paths will cross again on the trail somewhere.

I am certain that our paths will cross again. Where are you now? It sounds like you are close to southern Louisiana?

I'm in the same place. North Louisiana about 30 miles from the Arkansas border. Let me know if you come this way. There are several new, good letter boxes.

I will. When my husband leaves for Utah I'll be here with my two kids, we may make a few trips before we leave the state.

I've been off the grid for a while. I'd like to see you before you move, if that's possible.

If you still have my other contact info, get in touch with me. I've lost most of my contacts in a computer mess.

So sorry to hear that you all flooded. We stayed dry, but we have many friends who did not and have spent time helping them recover. What a chapter in the history of this area!

I'd like to stay in touch.
