the best $20 i ever spent

I had been wanting a pair of rain boots for a while. I thought they would be pretty practical for those occasional rainy days, and maybe even a snow day or too. I knew I didn't want to pay much for them so I found some cheapies at, where else, Target.



Well after this weekend, they really have proven their worth!







I have lived in this city my whole life, and I have never, ever seen anything like this before. That seems to be the case for most people here. Mother nature is truly an amazing force. I can't get some of the images I've seen on t.v. off of my mind, and my prayers go out to those that have literally lost everything. While some of my child-hood memories, pictures and belonging and soaking wet from basement flooding, that is nothing compared to the loss that other's have experienced.

I love my city!



...and my rainboots :)
