My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims in the flooding this past week. Watching the footage and driving around has just made me sick.  I drove by Osawattomie (SP??) yesterday and I felt awful.  Hopefully no one here was directly effected by the floods.  I know that we had the rain here, but were lucky because of no creeks and rivers running through our community. Alot of people weren't lucky.  Towns like Osawatamie, Coffeyville, Iola, Fredonia and many, many more have been devastated by flooding. I hope that you and all of your loved ones are safe and sound.

Hi Kansans, Well, I'm from SE Kansas and am also sick of the rain. The sun has been shining today so that's a plus. I don't garden because I have a brown thumb. I like to help my family can though, when I have a chance.  I do love photography and I actually worked for a local paper for a while taking photos. It wasn't near as fun when you do it for a job.  I have 1 dog and that is about it. My little boy has a goat and a lamb for our county fair and man does he love them. His father has had him showing livestock since he was 16 months old. I had to put my foot down and say that our daughter couldn't show this year. She's only 10 1/2 months old. I work as the director for our county's chamber of commerce and I find myself traveling all over the grand state of Kansas.  I would love to see this board more active. Right now I've been sticking to the lap band board, but I would love to keep in touch with people that live closer. I've been DVRing Big Medicine so I've watched all the new episodes. Well, I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th. If anyone is from one of the towns that has recieved some of the severe flooding just know that my thoughts and prayers are going out to you.
