Happy Not Crappy

This post was supposed to be about my trip to Seattle to visit the family...our motto for the week was "happy not crappy"...followed by a post about our little family vacay for Labor Day Weekend at our fave Rehoboth Beach. However the night I had set aside after I got home from work to hunker down and actually post them, the little creek in front of our house became a raging river that ran right through our house, literally. I never made it home because there was 3 feet of water in it. So ever since last Thursday, our days have been filled with "saving" things and ripping the house apart, literally. And finding a place to live, and dealing with the insurance company who is flooded (hah) with claims and doesn't necessarily think ours is as important as we think it is. But I guess this is what comes from wanting to get a new couch but not wanting to pay for it...one happy thing in the midst of a lot of crappy.
