Flood water from Hurricane Ida in Virginia this past week- I spent the weekend in Surry, VA where many of the roads in this section of Virginia cut through marsh land. The photo above is from a beautiful swamp in the Surry, Isle of Wight area which is normally very tranquil. The ground was saturated after days of non-stop rain, causing a washout of sections of roads including Route 10 in Virginia. The ferry from Surry to Williamsburg was closed for several days.
The creek overflowed it's bank and fast moving water washed out the gravel road. Water was at least 18" deep, the gravel base had been washed out causing huge potholes and creating a dangerous situation. Locally, when the Timber Lake Dam broke several years ago after days of rain, people crossing flooded roadways were killed.
If you ever come across a FLOODED ROAD like this, be aware:
As little as one foot of water can move most cars off the road.
Just six inches of fast-moving flood water can sweep a person off his or her feet.
Most flood-related deaths occur at night and are vehicular.
Urban and small stream flash floods often occur in less than one hour.
Tropical cyclones pose significant risk well inland due to fresh water flooding.
Chicken Normandy is one of the family favorites, real comfort food.....It's suppose to be prepared the night before and refrigerated for the next day. I've done that once, it's just as good if you prepare and cook the same night. I don't use extra salt in cooking so you might want to add to the filling. This is a great dish to take to a party.
CHICKEN NORMANDY
Crust
2 packages of Stove Top Chicken Stuffing Mix (prepared)
Filling
3 cups of cooked, diced chicken
1 cup chopped onion (sauteed)
1 chopped celery (sauteed)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Topping
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.75 oz)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Prepare stuffing mix and spread 3/4 into the bottom and sides of a greased 13x9x2 baking pan. Combine chicken, onions, celery and toss in mayonnaise. Spread chicken mixture over the bottom crust and top with remaining stuffing mix. Beat the eggs and milk and pour over the top. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. When ready to cook, remove foil, spread top with cream of mushroom soup and bake at 325 for 40 minutes. Top with shredded cheese and bake for 10 more minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy. Substitute leftover Thanksgiving turkey for the chicken.

History of Veterans Day
The main hostilities of World War I were finished at 11th hour of 11th Day of 11th Month of 1918 with Germany signing the Armistice. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed an Armistice Day for 12th November, 1919. Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th, the anniversary of the signing that finished World War I. It is commemorated as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day in other part of the world.
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. ~Author unknown
Remember to thank a Veteran and active duty service men and women for their service to our country!

Debbie,
I must admit, you have been one of the best real estate agents I have ever encountered. I have yet to experience a real estate agent that provide the amount of feedback and status of the ongoing process. The last real estate agent I had, we had to contact constantly just to know what's going on.
Thanks once again for being such a good sport. You are making it a smooooother process.
Craig
