Count Your Blessings

What a week it's been in 

Northern Colorado.

The rain just wouldn't stop and

the flood waters roared down the canyons

 (Photo courtesy channel 7 news)

taking everything with it

 as they

continued out onto the plains

flooding farm and pasture lands

leaving debris

and broken homes.

My move was only slightly

dampened by the rain,

but my home wasn't swept away by raging water

or flooded and ruined like so many others.

A few wet boxes is nothing like what others

have had to endure. 

My boxes will be unpacked and 

things will be put away,

but I am reminded continually

throughout the day as the

National Guard helicopters fly overhead

 searching and rescuing stranded families

 how blessed I am.

Until Next Time-

Moving Day

 Moving Day

It's finally here.

It will be nice when we're

finally resettled,

unpacked

And my fabric

And quilts 

are no longer being held prisoners.

During lunar space explorations
there would be times when the  astronauts would
 be out of direct communication with NASA.
Like those who have gone before me,
I am entering the dark side of my orbit around the moon

 and I will be unable to communicate until
all the wires and gizmos are reattached
and I re-enter Earth's orbit.

Until then...
Over and Out

PS  It hasn't  rained for over a month
and guess what it's doing today!

 Until Next Time-

What's Left to Eat?

As the time gets closer and closer

 to our actual moving day,

the refrigerator gets emptier and emptier,

which is a good thing.

But the choices
get fewer and fewer.

What gourmet meal would

the competitors on the Food Network show

"Chopped"

create if they found these lonely items

in their baskets from my frig?

Something ghastly, I imagine.

So between now and moving day

 meals might be interesting.

Until Next Time-

Moving Advice

 When you are

getting ready to move,
and need to get some packing done,

it's important to recruit

good help...

Some one who understands the concept

of in and out.

 Someone who doesn't

mind getting boxed in,

as long as there is a snack bowl

and a teddy bear handy.

 Someone who can

 lift heavy things.

And someone who knows how to 

get themselves out of a 

tight squeeze.

Until Next Time-
