This blog is a way to celebrate half a century of a joyful journey. My hope is to inspire others to write their own stories and to see the value of one life to our world.

Flood Fears
Are you upset little friend? Have you been lying awake worrying? Well, don't worry...I'm here. The flood waters will recede, the famine will end, the sun will shine tomorrow, and I will always be here to take care of you. ~ Charlie Brown to Snoopy
Today I drove through Brandon, which is at risk of flooding in places. The Kia dealership had no cars in the lot. The Montana Restaurant as you can see in the photo is closed and surrounded by sandbags. There is an eerie ghost town feeling about the area. The water has spilled over the banks of the Assiniboine River and has covered large areas. Families are evacuated. Everyone waits to hear what is going to happen. People are lying awake worrying, wondering when the floodwaters will recede. They are at least glad that the sun is shining but beginning tomorrow the winds will pick up and that may have a negative effect on the whole flood thing. Let’s take care of each other during this time. Help out where you can. Find a Charlie Brown to get through the uncertainty.
Peace,
Suzanne
