Signs are popping up all over. Some just express simple gratitude. Some encourage strength and courage, some tell idiots which buildings to stay out of, and some are advising residents who have lost their homes that there is a process they must follow in order to do cleanup on their property.
I have seen folks out visiting their ruined homes and I have even seen heavy equipment rumbling around town but I think the process to get cost covered using emergency funds is still ongoing and may take awhile.
We have been told that the remains of the commercial building will be hauled away in a few weeks but that it will take at least a year to rebuild. Just when we thought construction in our neighborhood was about done. Sigh.
Now that I am back home and trying to get back to my normal routine, I’m finding it a little difficult to focus on this blog. I’m contemplating cutting back to once or twice a week. But we’ll see what turns up to inspire me in the meantime.
