Little Big Town Manorisms

...and the creek don't rise

It was such a relief to wake up to sunshine on Friday morning. The phrase that kept running through Simmy's mind was,... 'Lord willing and the creek don't rise...' Sometimes idioms just help to get a perspective of necessity.
Simmy had struggled through parts of Thursday as she and Sam had driven out to the suburban city where the folks had re-settled, over 50 years after their return to Canada.

As they drove past an old manor, it was good to see new PVC windows in an old stately brick structure. The new technology married with the old architecture gave one a sense of hope as the fixing up of old existing structures often does.
As they arrived in the little big town, they stopped at the grocery store to buy some bread for the soup, stew, and chili that was a home-style meals on wheels offering from Sam and Simmy.
After picking a few options, they went to sit with Simmy's folks. This was no easy task as 'Horn' was thinking of his death and he wasn't going to get too cheerful this day.
'Sun Ray' was thinking of all the changes her life may go through and she was in a solemn mood as well.
As is usual, Thursday turns into Friday and the sun came out to lift the heavy mood of the day before and Simmy thought, 'Do not worry about tomorrow.'
