Dear Lesnpegnlynette;
I understand how it is a real kick for the kids to spend a night or two in
a hotel, but this is really taking it to an extreme. You can go to hotels
other times when you are feeling better; you don't need the excitement of a
fire. Fires are bad, mostly. I hope you sort through it all soon, dear
favorite Les.
If it'll make you feel any better, a few days before Christmas we noticed
some water on the floor of the basement. I told my husband and expected
him to go into his handyman routine. He didn't. So I said what are we
going to do. Do, he said; nothing. In a few weeks the ground will be
frozen. My dad's getting us a wet/dry vac for Christmas. I said, so we're
just going to live with the puddle on the floor; he said for now. I called
the plumber. It turned out to be a hole in a pipe going out to our well.
Now, which truly is the more practical sex?
Not good enough for you? In a couple of days the furnace broke so we had
to get a new one. Does that count?
I raise my glass, I hope with you, in a cybertoast to a healthier, happier,
and less costly new year,
Lots of Love,
Martha Cerreto
