Wow, you don't do things by half do you?!! What an adventure, all that danger, the worry, and managing to get two lovely young girls give you free beer at the same time to keep you calm. Thank all the Small Gods your wife and family, and you too came out of it all alive and well, though more than a bit wet methinks thinks me. I'm glad you had fun with all those folks as you waited too. What a fabulous post, well worth the wait sweetie xx I can't find the pics on Dan's blog, if I'm looking at the right blog mind.
That must have been an anxiety-ridden, prayer-filled four hours for you when you didn't know whether your family members were alive or dead. I suppose the beer helped to keep you calm (I wouldn't know), but still....
I'm glad they were all well and lived to see another day and gave you such an exciting post for your blogland return.
Please don't wait another six months, OK?
I was the #13 anonymous commenter, also anonymous #7. Did I appear tearful. #7 was a goad TRYING to get you to respond with another post and relieve my worry you had died! :( :(
I liked the story; I didn't like the scary parts. Guardian angels were on the job during the flooding - I'd Say!!!
I know you didn't drink the beer; don't we surmise Jesus drank his wine since that was a custom...didn't send him to Hell though, now did it? It might be good to let the hair down once in awhile; I mean all of us! I've had a beer on occasion; didn't harm my soul in the least.
It's Anonymous again here.
Aye you really 'Anonymous' Putz, and you're just playing with our minds eh? Hmmm? Hahahaha.
ps - I've left you a present in post form upon my blogette *smiles.
Putz, I saw a photo of you holding I think a King Charles Spaniel over on Daniel's blog, a very good photo of both you and the doggie.
You look normal enough, I must say.
Keep writing... one day your grandchildren, great grandchildren, on and on ... will so enjoy knowing you through your stories!
No, All Consuming, I am not Putz but Anonymous giving my two cents worth. Putz, my dearly beloved blogger, this was a great post and I hope to see more soon. Love you much. Signed Anonymous
It has been a while since we last left comments. With life and all it brings times just slips away. I love those moments that I just stop and write, just seem to be few and far between. I will try to do better so keep those stories coming!
Egad! and Gadzooks, Putz! I watched the video on Blaze of Glory and my heart was in my mouth even though I know they all survived. You really know how to make a grand re-entry into Blogland.
By the way, I have now posted over 1250 posts, 1/4 of the way to 5000... remember when you said a blog stops at 500 posts?
most sane bloogers did stop at 500<><>i don't know where this 5000 came from><>><make me want to rethink things on behalf of my own blog efforts
Wow, what an adventure and scare! So glad all turned out well for you all and the children as well. Hope their parents were found to be safe and sound also.
Take care Putz!
