Today I woke up in our trailer in Point Roberts, WA, to grey overcast skies followed by drizzle, followed by heavy rain, more drizzle, etc. do you get the picture? Evidently somebody forgot to let the BC weatherman know that today should be warmer and summerlike. Also, last time I checked all days are still 24 hours long, so I won't get my hopes up for more time in my days than I already have.
To add special sound effects to the drip drip of rain on the canopy, the campground owner is playing with his riding lawnmower, driving back and forth over the grass he just cut yesterday. Boys with their toys !! Although the noise is irritating it is rather funny to see him out there in his little purple raincoat, red ear protectors and eyeguard visor pulling wheelies on the croquet field.
What does one do for excitement when trapped inside a trailer in the rain? Surf the Net, what else. Sometimes it bears fruit...like finding old friends who moved to the USA shortly after we moved to BC from Ontario - or locating my bestest friend in the whole world (from my high school days). It always boggles my mind when someone I'd give up as lost for life shows up in a Google search. Modern technology, ain't it grand.
Today I am a bachelor. My hubby has meetings in town and attractive as 2 days trapped in a trailer with your wife may be, he decided to head home this morning. While there he will schedule delivery of our new dishwasher. The old machine gave up the ghost and started leaking while we were in Europe for 5 weeks. We arrived home to see our new hardwood floor sporting more hills and valleys than Rome. We loved our new flooring - here is a photo taken just after it was installed.
A restoration company will attempt to dehumidify the wood, but I don't see how that could work as the hills are mighty big, and valleys mighty low. The nice insurance adjuster said they would cover replacement if it does not work, so that makes me feel a bit better. She didn't mention what will happen to our premiums after the claim goes through, but some things are best left unsaid until they happen, we can only take so much in at one sitting.
Life sometimes sucks doesn't it? Bad things come in 3's but good things 1 at a time, don't you agree? For Example, just this month 1)Our truck breaks down, $998.00 2) our trailer leaks and rots out a section of the siding $$$$ for sure a big ticket repair and now 3) The new hardwood floor warps and buckles. On the GOOD news side, we did win $67.00 in the lottery - I can hardly contain the joy.
Maybe it is just the 'rainy day' gettin' me down. When the sun shines the world will look better.
God loves me! Now what can possibly not work out for my good knowing I can count on Him.
Cool! Thanks for the Indian Pipe tip. Weird plant, huh?
