...and for even more fun


Since the great majority of our back and side yard fence blew down today and our back yard is completely flooded we have been taking Doc out in the front yard so he at least has a chance to go potty with his short little dachshund legs. Chris took him out for the night around 9 and discovered that our front yard is completely flooded and could hear water running. He turned the water off to the house, but it got worse outside. Thanks to the internet, we found a number for our water company on the city website and the guy was here fifteen minutes later. We have to call a plumber in the morning. The water guy turned off our water, but he helped us hook our hose to our next door neighbors so we can run water from their house until we can get ours fixed. Yep, we're mooching. We are so thankful to have such great neighbors.

So tomorrow I get to call plumbers, fence guys, talk to our other two neighbors, get hold of the landlord of the house next door, and pray that the big tree behind us doesn't fall down. Not a lot of fun, but I'm really glad that we are all safe and healthy.

Hope round two of this super storm is less exciting...
