On a Rainy, Rainy Weekend...

This weekend just pales in comparison to last weekend, at least weather-wise. Cold, damp, and just plain-old yucky in general. With rainfall totals significantly above average for this year - I think the next thing that we're going to invest in (well, besides new gutters for the house) is an arc.

We've all been a bit under the weather (no pun intended) this week. We've all had the same cold, which Caroline has ended up taking the brunt of. She seems to be getting better now, but is still pretty stuffy. Turns out, though, that she's gotten good at blowing snot bubbles (which we will spare you the pictures of).

A friend of mine from work's house was severly damaged by fire yesterday. The Red Cross was there right after the Worcester FD left offering them a place to stay, gift cards to get some clothes on their backs, food and cash for whatever else they might immediately need. I was so impressed by their speedy responce to the situation and their compassion. Please remember that they do a lot for "little distasters" and not just huge natural disasters. They need all the donations (money, blood) that they can get. I was also impressed by the Worcester Fire Department. They were very professional and the Cheif came back to the house hours later to see if everyone was still okay and if there was anything more that they could do. Please pray for Patty and her family during this difficult time.
