We had overpriced food and craft beer, got drunk, made fun of people, laughed and for a couple of hours we had forgotten about all the bad things that had happened to us. It was an unusually warm and sunny day in mid-September. Since my car was totaled during the flood, my husband and I took a train ride out to the Queens Farm. My NYC Wildlife Quilt won Best in Show at the Queens County Fair. After days of pumping out and cleaning our dark and damp basement, I had my day in the sun. We were hit terribly by Hurricane Ida in early September. Sometimes great, fun things happen right after disaster strikes.
