Hope floats
Dec 4th, 2007 by Jesse Moore
Well, for those that wonder if we’ve floated away, we’re just fine
It is weird to drive by a flooded intersection and wonder if you won’t see the image on the national news in the evening. To get to my office on Monday morning I had to wait in line for 45 minutes to explain my case to a cop, who was only letting people through on a case by case basis. The measure was a little extreme, but considering the rapids that cascaded down both sides (and in one place - over) the street, not completely unwarranted.
One flood I’ve been unable to avoid is just one of the perks of being a parent. Selah is a pure delight, but I’ve never been sick so often, and I can’t help but attribute it at least in small part to her inability to willfully wash her hands on a normal basis
Small cost to pay I guess
It is December - which means that I should expect rain and head colds. Doesn’t mean that I can’t dream of sunshine and open nasal passages…[foreshadowing of a future post]…

Jess,
Hope you are healing up. And glad
you survived the storms.
love,
Mom
