The phone rang about a half hour ago, and my husband took off.
When my folks announced they were selling the house in Maryland they’d lived in for 45 years or so and moving to downtown Salt Lake City, my first reaction was, huh? But seeing their beautiful new home this past week, I could see how perfect a move it has been for them. And this is the view out their new windows (click on it for best effect). Very nice.
It surprised me that, although it snowed a bit I think every day we were there, it didn’t feel that much colder than here in California. I’m used to it being a bit chilly and wearing two layers of wool around the house, but then, we have big picture windows too, and cold winter fog rolling over our own mountains nearby.
Which means there is a family standing outside, shivering as the firemen have been doing their best.
Red Cross dispatcher, hoping one of the volunteers was available to respond, asking for Richard. House fire. Would he go?
From the warmth of our home, how could he not?
