Six Word Fridays- True

A  blustery day left us powerless.
One hundred mile an hour winds.
Now, we pick up the pieces.

Not our fence, for once I'm thankful for chain link.

    I pray that those pieces get picked up quickly, with little heartache or stress.

    Hope things are back to normal. On a happier note, the mountains in the distance look pretty amazing. I lived in Colorado for a little while when I was in the first grade. This kind of reminded me of the view from our backyard.

    YIKES! Thank goodness for chain link.
    ;)

    (Glad all the people are well, even if the fences didn't quite hold up!)

I Don't Run. Don't Ask Me.

I think a lot. When I don't understand something, I think about it. Lately, I've been thinking about running. Not as in, "I think I should run."  More like, "Why in the hell are all these people running?" The only time I remember running on purpose was when my sister was chasing me with a butcher knife.  And, when my friend's rooster chased me out of the yard.  Of course, I did a lot of running when my kids were little and found joy in trying to get me to chase them.  My running always involves chasing.

The Handy Man's parents still live in the house they bought when he was in kindergarten. Each room holds memories for him. The basement where he helped paint his mother's freezer.  The backyard is where he played and ran from the torments of his older brothers. He can name the families that live in the houses up and down the street.  If we went to church with my in-laws, there would be many worshipers who could tell me stories about my husband and his childhood antics. They'd smile and resist the urge to pinch his cheeks.  My family moved a lot when I was growing up. A lot. There were two very long trips between Idaho and Arizona that I remember well. Laying in the  way-back of our green station wagon, watching the sky fly by at a brisk 75 mph.  Mom packed lunches and wet washcloths in plastic bags for the long journey.  Stops at the rest area were mini adventures where we were left to explore the rocks and cactus. The house where we lived dur...
