I just spoke with the fema claim people who checked my policy and said definitely my policy does not cover contents. Not sure why or how that works but apparently there are different levels of coverage. My husband was the one that had our SF agent get us flood insurance at the time we were closing on the house because we had to have it. We will definitely reevaluate that and see what better options we have. If we are replacing every thing we own I want it all covered in case it happens again. The appliances are covered, the heat and air is covered which is good because our brand new big AC unit is not working. In trying to open the bottom drawers on the dressers the wood was swollen and the drawers fell apart. So every piece of furniture in my bedrooms has to be replaced. I am hoping the beds can be saved especially the antiques. I am now in the we are getting rid of baggage mind set and I wanted to go more minimal anyway. One thing I learned and will pass along. Using big Rubbermaid bins doesn't necessarily mean your stuff is safe! They float even full and when they float they fall over on their sides and water pours into them because they are not water tight. I had several bins of fabric in the sewing room stacked up. The tower fell over and everything in them was soaked. I chose to throw it out. Fabric could be washed but I have so much good stuff to wash I just can't see having the time before it starts to mold. I now have a very cleared out sewing room.

Thanks! We just went for a ride and walk on the beach. We had severe storms here last night as Cindy hit us here. It scrubbed the beach clean.

Oh, Raven. It is so good to hear that some things are looking up for you and Mr. Raven. Am glad that Mia is on meds now. Hopefully, she will get well and quit losing weight. Love your washer and have bookmarked the link. I might want one of those in the future. They would be great for a small laundry room, too. And especially nice for singles. Your chair looks like it is fun to ride in and maneuver. So glad to get your update.

The vet called today and her echo is going to happen on Wednesday! I am glad but worried about what they will find. She has been doing really well on her medication. She is taking a Lasix about one every 7 days. If she starts to breathing fast and heavy it's time for a Lasix to flush out the fluid. I will know more after Wednesday. I will report back! Thanks
