Back on her feet

What is this photo all about?
Well, do you remember when the river flooded...(can you see the dirty flood line in the trees there)?
well, back then I took a little drive down to my local hair salon...wondering if the lady needed any help...



well, it looked like some people had been to help ...
it had been all cleaned out ...after 6 feet of water had inundated the place...
and now, she is back in business
with lots of help from her family
and even though the brick walls still seem to be seeping
the place is looking great again
I even had my haircut!
So nice to see a fast turn around to a difficult flooded situation..

Prayers for my brother in law in hospital in Chile...may God go with him and his wife.

I'm sure she appreciated the help, and what a fabulous person to be so positive after all that damage.

Nothing like some get up and go plus elbow grease to get back up and running. It must have been a daughting sight and task when she first started the clean up.

The shop looks great!

There had been 6 feet of water through the shop, hard to believe!

Yeah for the courage and strength to bring things back to normal! I bet it felt good to get your hair cut.

God I pray for Annie's brother-in-law. I pray for your peace to fill his hospital room and for your calming hands to be felt around them as they are going through their situation.

God bless the folks that helped out! I can't imagine what a mess it is to get things back to "normal" after all the flooding.
