Weekend away


Had a great weekend away at Toowoomba in January.  Finished sadly with all the devastation. My heart goes out to those who have been affected by this event.  What I saw was nothing much ( a raging flooded, muddy gully) compared to the bigger picture.  Although in the flooded gully at least 4 homes were flooded. I thank God for His care in this time.  Staying at a friends home that was high, jsut a street away, we had power, no water but had a rain water tank, so the bucket brigrade happened the 5 days I was stuck there till the roads home opened.  My friend was to have had workshops that week so her pantry and fridge were full so had no food problems.
