say it ain't so

I am an optimist

- an eternal optimist.

I haven't worried 

one minute

about this hurricane...

until tonight.

John cancelled his trip home

to stay and take care of business

- wines and vines and horses.

Oh,

and our home!

When I moved back to Georgia,

I didn't want to leave 

the life I had in NY,

so I left

Everything -

my treasured children's pictures,

my favorite oil painting,

my cherished persian rug,

and my beloved india ink drawing.

Hmmm....

maybe that wasn't such a great decision.

And all that's just stuff.

After losing my brother, 

I will never feel the same about possessions again.

John is there

and I'm a little worried.

Although, I will admit...

I wish I was there.

I'd have a hurricane party

in the wine cellar!
