I liked that you're talking about a train derailment, just because there was just a recent train derailment in Philadelphia - my city and in particular, my neighborhood. It was fascinating how one derailment brought the neighborhood/city together. Sometimes we need a detour to come out on top. Good luck with your new journey. ~MegMegan Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899903891887215505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528372652947659182.post-43624376313173886592015-05-18T05:55:47.957-07:002015-05-18T05:55:47.957-07:00Hi Jennifer - I'm glad they go through floods ...Hi Jennifer - I'm glad they go through floods sometimes - I got home, but it was 'interesting' watching the sparks fly up either side of us ... water and electrics I guess don't go together like a horse and carriage!<br /><br />Well done - we need to stop and take time out away from the rattling train of life we're on ... good luck with the change of direction, but looks as though it's all going along fine ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528372652947659182.post-4910513536660364622015-05-13T13:58:45.207-07:002015-05-13T13:58:45.207-07:00I think I am on a detour right now.
