Thoughtful Friday
Conversation with a Kite
by Bobbi Katz
Come back, come back, my runaway kite!Come back and play with me!
I'm riding and gliding on whirl-away winds. I'm going somewhere. Can't you see?
Where are you going my beautiful kite,flying so high in the sky?
I'm going to visit the lost balloons that made little children cry.
When I hold your string, oh my magical kite,why do I feel the wind in my hand?
The wind is a taste of the sky, my young friend,that I gave to a child of the land.

Weekend Fun
Well, I'm very happy to report that all we did was blow our power supply, so my husband found and installed a new one and we are back in business!
The weather in Wisconsin has been weird, just like a lot of the Midwest right now. We were smack in the middle of everything that hit Wisconsin. We were unable to get to our house Thursday night because all of the cities between where we were and where we lived were completely flooded and you couldn't get south. (We were less than 30 minutes away.) Our boys were safe, but stuck at Grandma's, so we ended up bunking at friends' house on Thursday night. Friday we spent assessing damages and trying to find a route home that wasn't flooded out. We did and found, it wasn't too bad where we were, even though we received the second highest rain total of the area. All of the neighboring cities were flooded though, so we decided, this was the perfect time to go visit my brother and his family 4 hours away from the flooding.
We had a beautiful weekend, and I got to spend some wonderful relaxing time with my nieces, brother and sister-in-law. I actually miss them already. We'll see them again in 2 weeks though, and until then I can look at the pictures we took.

While I was unable to use my computer, I was invited to take part in Bella Dia's Thoughtful Friday. I thought that would be fun, so even though this isn't Friday, I took this picture on Friday, so I thought I could do a belated one.
