Whole lotta shakin' goin' on again!

No, it's not another Virginia earthquake today, but the sounds of construction at the Hotel Rehab.

Turns out, though, the construction crews may just get a little more work. While they've been busy on one wing of the Hotel, the other started showing some serious cracks recently.

What does this mean? The engineers to the rescue. Apparently, the other crew has fixed one thing that caused problems on another.

What does it mean for us? A pleasantly lower census while they fix the bathrooms and everything else. Mr. Crabby left today, so I'm sure there was much rejoicing.

Stay tuned...

Little miracles

First, it was the 60 year old man floating on his roof.

Today, some survivors were found in the rubble.

Finally, when you have to make a terrible choice in a split second, sometimes, somewhere, someone is looking out for you.

And yes, I do believe all dogs go to Heaven.

Terror strikes again

I think of our old friend Kiwi Bob as I look at these pictures today. Bob is safe in another town.
