Stop and smell the roses!

April 19th, 2011 at 10:35 pm

It has been a bad day. My dh woke me to tell me that the water main located in our front yard had broken and water was spewing all over our yard and driveway. (This has happened about 10 times before and once our asphalt driveway fell in!)
When I went to call the water company, the phone was acting up and I had to call 4 times and scream over the noise before the repair guy heard me.

Dh called on his cell phone and reported the phone out of order. So, of course the computer did not work either. I was without water, without a phone, no computer and even the tv is so snowy you can barely see the picture.

As I looked out the front door, I noticed that my first rose is coming in bloom, so I had to cheer up!

It has taken all day, but I finally have water, phone and a computer. The pictures on the tv's are still bad, but I have a beautiful rose to look at.

    That sounds terrible.

    Why has that water main broken down so often? You'd think if they were replacing a burst part of the pipe, they'd replace a longer length if it was really old.
