When I hit the water, it took my breath away. Figured I'd be OK if I just stood up. Nope. I didn't even touch bottom. So now I'm swept up in the current and trying to stay obove water. Somehow I managed to grab another brach hanging over the water and pull my self ashore glad to be alive and freezing. However, we still had another 2 hours to go till home. Well, we made it. I am still freezing even after >5 hrs and a hot shower. It got me thinking though.</p><p>What if it went worse. I have no will, no instructions for my collection, no insurance on it etc. Now that summer is almost here many of us will be going outside, traveling and doing other fun summertime activities. Collections have been added to and changed. Now is the time to update the instructions on your will (or make one) to adjust your insurance coverage (or get some) and to make copies of you instructions to keep in a safe place. Don't forget to make sure someone else has the code to your safe/ key to safety deposit box. Before you get caught up in the fun of nicer weather, please take a moment to make sure all your ducks are in a row. Do it for your family because, you never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
