Aw, Trudy, many {{{{HUGS}}}} on the loss of your friends. It's hard. I know I still think of telling Oma something, and she's been gone for almost 4 months already.
Seems like everyone must be really busy these days. Actually, I've got a million and one things I should be doing, too. We got frost on Sat night, so today we have to go clean out our garden. Ugg.
We went up north on Sat -- about a 2 hr drive -- to where our son hunts. We helped him set up his tent, as it's too big and heavy for him to set up alone. When we got there we discovered that a bear had wrecked the door on his storage shed, pulled everything apart, and eaten all the macaroni and oatmeal. What a mess. It took us about another hour to pick up everything and restore order. Our son was staying up there alone until the next day when his hunting buddies were supposed to come. You could not have paid me enough to stay up there alone overnight. But he said he'd take his rifle to bed with him, so he was fine. Sheesh. He's hunting elk with a rifle, and moose with bow & arrow. If he gets anything he said he'd share with us.
We've had water coming into our basement off and on all summer, and could never figure out where it was coming from as it was in the middle of the basement, rather than around the edges. FINALLY! A couple of weeks ago I was taking a shower on a Sat morning, when I could hear Hardy yelling "TURN THE WATER OFF!!!" Lo & behold, the water was backing up in our sewer, and running out the pipe that had been connected to our water softener. We called Terry's Roto Rooter, and 45 minutes & $190 later, we once again have a free-flowing sewer. He found a bunch of roots, so now we have to figure out where they're coming from and get rid of the problem. The nearest tree is 20' away to it's nearest branch, so we're not sure if that's it or not.
Must go help clean out the garden *sigh* {:-(
