Bounce Time

Step by step we all become better people.  It might be the pandemic that triggers us to do more and be more or perhaps it is just “us” with a desire for improvement.  When my children were younger and we were stationed at Scott AFB they each had an emergency back pack that we kept in the hall closet.  I also had a trash barrel on wheels which held water, supplies and food.  We practiced as a family putting on the backpacks with each older child carrying his own gallon of water and like little soldier troops we maneuvered to our Toyota Minivan for loading.   My daughter and her husband have “bounce bags” for the kids which in essence are the same concept.  Each bag has clothes, a toothbrush, chapstick, crackers, peanut butter, Cliff bars etc.  When the emergent time comes they are ready to “bounce.”
