Snow Day Thwarted
Sleet and snow predicted.
Went to bed with snow day dreams.
Rain, the snow day thwarted.
Off to school it seems.
Grumpy faces this morn.
Thought that they’d be freed.
Back to the slog they go.
Gloomy day indeed.
home is where the coffee cup is

“The neighbor just ran her car into the tree in our front yard. What do I do?” my eldest son, in a harried voice, asked me over the phone. He had been left at home to baby sit his siblings. I responded with questions, “Were the kids in the car with her? Is everyone alright? Was it the Cherry?” Afterwards, I can never fully explain why I say and do certain things during a crisis. My neighbor and her children are a million times more important than my cherry tree. I know this. However, during crisis, correct perspective often eludes me.

Dale and Mugs Manry have been happily married since June 1990. They have 4 kids: Josiah, Abby, Gabe and Zeke.
