Whilst Daddy is Away

Why is it that everything seems to go wrong when Rick is away. He left Sunday for Charlottesville, VA for a MBA class at the Darden School. They are sure taking good care of him.
We are doing well, too. But we had quite the storm last evening. It hailed for about 10 minutes. It rained and rained! We had a lovely moat around the home.

And we had a leak in the basement.

We were warned to watch where pipes were coming into the home, but this leak was not in either of those places. The entire seam of the side wall cracked. So water was coming in.

Gratefully they came to repair it today and the insulation guys will be by on Monday morning.

We've still got the painters and the granite company to come back and fix their things.
And the driveway guys will be here next week as well for me to try and negotiate with and wish I could make it even bigger but that's not affordable at the moment.
Glad he's getting a restful few weeks at work and grateful that whilst these are big annoyances, we are healthy and well and enjoying summer!

I'm sure going to miss when these kids are off at school!
