Weird Disasters
My parents have built two houses in their marriage.
One I've written stories about, and dreamed about re-living in. It was a beautiful log house. Each log was cut and pealed by my dad, and placed with my mom and dad's back-breaking labor.
It was a unique one of a kind house with a 6 inch slab of wood as a main door, and four foot round log as stairs to the upstairs. The shakes on the roof were hand-hewed by my dad.
The other was a summer cabin on the lake.
Last winter the summer cabin slid into the lake.
Last night the log house burned down.
Its rather symbolic isn't it?
I loved that house, I still dream about it. And man its just all gone.

Wow! That reminds me of the title of that book by Thomas Wolfe, "You Can't Go Home Again." Eerie.
Stay warm and dry. It has been raining here this afternoon. We are about 20 inches behind for the year, so it is welcome.
How aweful and how sad.
That is too bad but you are right, almost seems like an omen.
Yup, that is weird.
*hugs*
Wow, that is weird. Sad, but definitely symbolic.
OH NO!! That is awful. Do you know what happened??
