BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL story, Joanie!
You have some Mark Twain in you, and some other authors I've read and can't remember who they were. But they all wove a wonderful, enchanting story out of some things that many people would take for granted.
Thank you!

We got into the jeep and drove to Hancock, NY -- the nearest form of real 'civilization' -- on Saturday afternoon. We traveled down several dirt (and paved) roads that were barricaded as 'closed to traffic' due to the flooding ... by driving around the barricades. Whenever we would come to a portion of the closed road that was flooded, we would send sister Connie out, barefooted and pants rolled above her knees, to determine the maximum depth of the water. Our consensus was that, if the water didn't reach too far above her knees, the Jeep could make it through. (Connie was elected to be our depth-scout simply because she was recently married and has no children yet, so her demise, should the water sweep her away, would conceivably have somewhat less impact than that of the rest of us -- who all have children and husbands of longstanding. :) I love it! Awesome report, lass. I laughed out loud at parts and felt as if I was with all of you through the whole weekend.

This is a great story, Joanie. I wish you WOULD write a book. It could be about anything. Politics. Your music. Aunt Sarah. American history. Thank you for sharing your weekend. I feel like I was there.
