Anything that can go wrong, will...
This weekend is the time for my grandma's estate sale. A while back, my mother noticed that the dates which should have been Friday, Saturday, Sunday were actually showing as Thursday, Friday, Saturday. She called my uncle who told her to stay out of it and he'd deal with it. Guess what? The dates were never changed - way to go, Uncle!So my parents were supposed to be in Edina early this morning for a final walk through. Sadly, deaths happened. The church had already exhausted its funeral volunteers last week and needed my parents to help. By the time the last funeral was over and everybody had been served and stuff cleaned up, it was too late to drop George at the kennel on Wednesday. BTW - funeral broke all records in attendance, something like 1000 people filled the church, many watching the funeral on TVs in the "overflow" Sunday school rooms.
This morning the parents drove down and the sale went off with really no need for them to be there. After it was done for the day, they went out to dinner. Then a water main broke on my grandma's street, flooding the street and the basement. Everyone went back to the house to get everything off the floor in the basement. So exciting! Tomorrow, the street will be a lovely sheet of ice. And there may or may not be running water or an open street. Good luck with that!
