Tadaima - Earthquake!!!
Hi, All!
I'm sure some of you have experienced them before, but after 51 years on this planet, today I felt an earthquake for the first time in my life. Sitting at work, and all of a suddenly, the building creaks and I can feel movement. Did a truck hit it? (Not unheard-of...) The movement comes again - is a truck pushing against it? Is my heart doing something it probably shouldn't?? I step outside, and there's no truck - but there's a door down the row waving in more than just a summer breeze . . .
Turns out there was a 5.9 or so earthquake down in Virginia - and of course, the next thing I thought of was the folks in California and especially Japan, where earthquakes are such a part of life. The next thing was that my parents are in Virginia visiting family. (They're OK!)
Also - we're finally back in the house after what was supposed to be "a couple of weeks" away due to renovations. Missed you guys out there! Will post photos of the new look, but not tonight. It's already too close to tomorrow.
