Love to Nashville

As most of you know, my sister lives in Nashville, TN. Many of you have asked how she has been affected by the flood. Their part of town (Bellevue) was one of the hardest-hit, and entire neighborhoods there were under water. Thankfully, Kelly's house escaped any serious damage, though they were out of power and phone service for quite some time. David's work has been seriously affected, as the soccer fields he manages were under 20 feet of water at one point and all of their equipment was damaged. But all in all, they were lucky. Many Nashvillians were not as fortunate, and I think the national news hasn't given this story the attention it deserves.

Please check out Kelly's blog at http://www.kdfish.blogspot.com/ for her accounts of the flood, and for links to donate to the Nashville Red Cross and other organizations that are helping with the recovery effort.
