Oh shit! I'm so very sorry!! Well, where to start. I guess it all started when I got a call at practice that a tree fell on the house and water was cascading into my bedroom. Got home and found out it wasn't a tree but a broken pipe. That was some three weeks ago. Insurance company paid off, after the deductable of course. Demo, rebuilding and what not cost much more then we got but at least we got something. Endless delays on the repairs, one of the workers getting arrested for murder sorta slowed things down for a while and caused my husband to ask if I knew if all my guns were present and accounted for. They were and, after talking with the workers that did show back up, we had a better understanding of what was expected. They show up on time, get the work done and we'll all live to see another sunrise. Expanding the garage to include a double cart barn, dealing with the homeowners association as well as the country club. My son's wedding created a few hitches but it all worked out well in the end. We only had a few minor problems. One of the groomsmen is married to a psycopath who took off in the middle of the night with his passport, drivers license, credit cards and money, left the billfold behind all because he made a comment about one of the wedding guests. I've known this young man since he and my son were in kindergarden. Couldn't leave him stranded down there. I would expect nothing less from his parents if the situation were reversed. My middle boy was almost abducted by a man in Mexico who wanted him to come work for him rolling cigars. He had never come up against such an "American Shit" his words, not mine, like my own self before and the Mexican police, armed with a machine gun, put a halt to it all. My husbands comment after this was all said and done was "I can't take you anywhere can I" This got a laugh from me and a sigh and a head shake from the armed police, he seemed to sympathize with my husband on this point so I can only conclude this policeman has a very wonderful wife too. Got back home finally and here I am!!
