Amputee life before and after...

~Daily Drama~

Every day is something going on.. Today- we are without
water!.. I went to make coffee and nope, nothing came out.
I didn't know what to think.. We got no notice about a water
shut off.. Next thing I hear the door bell and its Steve from
next door, he says "I had to shut the water off, the pipe in
my basement broke and its flooded". I assured him that was
ok, I keep bottled water because our tap water smells and
tastes like bleach and makes AWFUL coffee, let alone my
lime kool aid..
My next remark was, "you have a basement? I don't ".
I didn't know they had one.. Apparently according to Steve
its what we call a Michigan basement, dirt floor, not finished,
like a dug out for preserving or even a tornado shelter. Years
ago the veggies were kept in them so they lasted longer. Lots
of places have them. I don't under my part but this side of
this duplex, was a green house, you can see the strips of
concrete out back where the sides of it went. Be nice to have
a green house I think.. Raife built one for his wife that is just
great and that lady can grow some stuff in hers ! Shes got
green hands, not just a thumb :-)

Steve came back a few minutes later and said he had called
Joe and someone would be here in 3 hours or so to fix it..
He said his basement has over a foot of water in it..Once
the water is gone, mud will be left, being a basement and I
Seriously doubt there is a window, usually not in those kind,
so drying that basement out will take awhile. What a mess I
bet he has.. I hope he had nothing stored down there, he
didn't say he did. I hope it doesn't start to smell.. THAT
would not be good, I just got rid of a moldy smellin place!

Time for lunch, Ive not heard from anyone so I am NOT
contacting anyone. I think its best in a way, although this
not knowing drives me looney, I hate this.. Mary reports
Bob is slowly on the mend, so please keep them in your
prayers.. Me, its post time and lunch time then some
sewing for a while. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE WILL
BE BACK :-) I KNOW you're glad :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y"hear? luv ya and Thanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you Friend.
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...
