Photo Friday, No. 742

Current Photo Friday theme: Water

The boil water advisory will remain in place through the weekend in Houston. With all the things going wrong, it was wonderful when we saw our water delivery guy arrive on Wednesday. We have it for drinking water for us and the animals, to make coffee, and for brushing our teeth. We are boiling water to use for bathing and washing dishes.

Meanwhile, for those who can’t boil water because they’re still without power, water distribution points and comfort stations have been set up throughout the city. So many people, from inside and outside of Texas, are helping during this weather crisis. I’ve read heartbreaking stories in the news, so learning about assistance and reading messages of care from all over the world are uplifting.

Thank you.

That beautiful water carafe and glass set was a gift to me from Lynne years ago. The two quilt squares you can see were signed by Jess (between one and two years old at that time) and Lynne for the quilt my mother made in the early 1980s. There is so much sustaining power in the tangible and intangible gifts of family and friendship.
