Flood Waters in Downtown Nashville





TONS OF RAIN!

AND THAT'S AN UNDER STATEMENT!! I'm going to start off by saying that we were blessed here at the Seehafer house. We're praying for everyone who has been affected by this flooding everywhere here in Tennessee. It's been raining for two days straight. We've gotten 14 inches of rain in those two days!

The girls were safe in their roost, wet but safe. The "river" in front of the roost...

went right in the middle of the yard and...

down past Brian's pumpkin field. You can follow it...

Bubba and Tootie started floating down the backyard and next thing I knew, they were knocking on the side door! We got them dried off, feed and they were asleep in front of the TV in no time... safe and warm.

William Jake was also asleep in the garage, safe, dry and warm on his bale of straw. Trigger was safe and dry. The turtle were loving every moment of this. They were out walking around but they were safe.

Brian and I made sure everyone was safe.

Refrigerator Art

I just recently got a wonderful piece of art from my dear friend and neighbor Tiff! I'm so excited about this piece because it's just incredible!

The panda painting incorporates American Pop Art and Realism... at least that's what I think a art critic would say... not that I'm a art critic, "I just play one on TV." JOKING!

I absolutely love Tiff's work. It's imaginative and very creative!! GREAT WORK TIFF!! I LOVE IT!!!

"The Princess and the Pea"

The Real Princess (The Princess and the Pea)
by Hans Christian Andersen

There was once a prince, and he wanted a princess, but then she must be a real Princess. He travelled right around the world to find one, but there was always something wrong. There were plenty of princesses, but whether they were real princesses he had great difficulty in discovering; there was always something which was not quite right about them. So at last he had come home again, and he was very sad because he wanted a real princess so badly.

One evening there was a terrible storm; it thundered and lightninged and the rain poured down in torrents; indeed it was a fearful night.

In the middle of the storm somebody knocked at the town gate, and the old King himself sent to open it.

It was a princess who stood outside, but she was in a terrible state from the rain and the storm. The water streamed out of her hair and her clothes; it ran in at the top of her shoes and out at the heel, but she said that she was a real princess.

'Well we shall soon see if that is true,' thought the old Queen, but she said nothing. She went into the bedroom, took all the bed clothes off and laid a pea on the bedstead: then she took twenty mattresses and piled them on top of the pea, and then twenty feather beds on top of the mattresses. This was where the princess was to sleep that night. In the morning they asked her how she slept.

'Oh terribly bad!' said the princess. 'I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to be lying upon some hard thing, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!'

They saw at once that she must be a real princess when she had felt the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. Nobody but a real princess could have such a delicate skin.

So the prince took her to be his wife, for now he was sure that he had found a real princess, and the pea was put into the Museum, where it may still be seen if no one has stolen it.

The End

P.S. That's my little princess Josie. She made herself comfortable on a pile of CLEAN TOWELS that just came out of the dryer.
