There is a children's song that I have sung many times through the years. It has fun hand gestures that include first a nice strong fist and then the international sign for SPLAT!
The wise man built his house upon the rock
(repeat 2 times)
And the rain came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up
(repeat 2 times)
And the wise man's house stood firm!
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
(repeat 2 times)
And the rain came tumbling down.
The rain came down and the floods came up
(repeat 2 times)
And the foolish man's house went SPLAT!
A foolish man built a pool house in our yard years ago. This morning, the rains came down and the floods came up and our pool house went SPLAT! Oh, if it were only a pool house. It is to be Ernst's office and had a desk and bookshelves and semi-important stuff (still in boxes, thank goodness, and up on the shelves). A trip to Emigh Hardware for Insta Foam, a new trench around the little building and some drying out and we should be OK. The stuff? We shall see. What a fun way to spend our Sunday. Our former house flooded too in the little room off the kitchen and a tree limb came down on their car, so either way we were sitting ducks.
