It’s Been A Long Time
After a week of rain, some of it very hard downpours too, it was nice to actually feel some summer sun on our skin this past weekend.
And speaking of a lot of water, we had another mini flood in our home. Weird and unexpected flooding in this house….I think we counted 10 floods since our reno six years ago. The house shifting, cracks in our foundation, insulation missed, eves-troughs in the wrong direction, etc., etc., we are OVER the floods..ha ha.
But we discovered that a pipe that is directly under the kitchen sink/ dishwasher area and that is in our bedroom closet in the basement came unattached and the water was seeping into that room through the wall and finally hit the carpet.
The good news is our original renovators (Aquarian) came over immediately and although it is past the warranty date, they fixed the problem and we are in the process of getting the wall drywalled again. Houses. Always in flux.
Anyway, we had some things to donate to our church garage sale so off we went to drop off a cabinet and a large bike (that didn’t work out for me) and in the process I found some treasures for our soon-to-arrive, small guests from Vancouver.
Next up we had a kind invitation from our ‘pool friends’ ,Karen and Darrell, to come over for a lunchtime bar-b-que and it was SO great to finally be with this gang again ….even outside the pool..ha ha.
Ugh! I just realized I didn’t take pictures of our two 90 year old friends who were with us that afternoon too. It was GREAT to see Lou and soon to be 90 year old Elsie.
We all brought our own things to cook and it was just nice to catch up in the shade of their beautiful, rose gardened yard.
These folks are just the nicest gang and I have missed them and other friends (like Barb and Jerry!) whom we used to see at least 3 times a week.
Summer has started .
Bring on the heat!
