It always starts the same. We look at each other and ask "was that an earthquake?" Sometimes it's the wind rattling the windows, other times it can be the house settling. And never have our cats warned us ahead of time. This time, the shaking went on for about 20 seconds - long enough to be pay attention. Lee was upstairs, I ran outside until I didn't hear the rumbling anymore. Some items were knocked over in his office, hanging lamps were swinging, and water was sloshing in water bottles. The dangling little people on the marriage menorah danced around for a long time after. We took a deep breath and a good look around, calmed Darby a bit and went on with life. Nothing like a little seismic activity to shake up our world!
