FIRE and RAIN
Fire and Rain.
That is the headline of our local paper this morning. I thought of it as the title of my blog entry days ago, but I wasn’t fast enough to use it first.
The headline sure fits our present situation. The Dismal Swamp has been on fire for weeks. The fire has thrown a big cloud of smelly, acrid, blue smoke that moves around which makes being outside an unpleasant experience. The only hope to ending the fire was a time of heavy continuous rain. Well, we are getting that now, as I write this.
It has been some week for my family. It reads like the plot of some bad short story...”The Parker Family Saga” written with 2000 words or less.
Here is the synopsis:
Saturday….Mom of wife dies from Stroke.
Tuesday….Daughter has really big baby.
Wednesday…Family (minus daughter) attends funeral of Mom of Wife
Thursday….Father of family goes back to work and hopes to finish 2 month long project.
And has to make hurricane preparations at same time
Friday….Father visits customers to help batten down their phone systems and still works to open a large medical practice. Comes home and does as much as he can to get ready for a hurricane.
Saturday….Father sits in from of computer and writes blog, hoping to post soon in case power goes out.
Sunday...gives thanks to God that family made it through one crazy week.
Also gives thanks that the Fire is out and the Rain is gone
Makes for quite the story don't you agree?
