On Saturday, I returned home from Annual Conference in time to grab a bite of late lunch and we tried to take a quick nap - I know I dozed off in my 20 minute power nap, but Mark said he was just lying there worrying about our water leak -- YES! Mark was cleaning out his brother's house and I was at the conference and we got home at the same time to find water on our porch . . .remember that high water bill?? LEAK! In the summers while Mark was in college . . . he was a plumber's assistant! He can fix lots of plumbing things. He dug up the yard and found the leak and turned off the water to that area, but he didn't have time to repair it because . . .we had to get ready to go to see "Dear Jack, Dear Louise."
Our friend, Marietta, was the director of the play.
We have season tickets to this community theater. It is a small black box theater and if you have season tickets . . .you have an assigned seat :-).
You can get an idea of the layout in the photo below - this was pre-show. The "stage" is literally right in front of those on the first row. I think there are five rows on each side of the "aisle" and maybe 8 chairs on each row - so the theater probably holds about 80 people. It has been so popular over the years that they now run the shows for two weekends - Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday matinee and they are sold out many nights.
I didn't go up and read the backdrop because I actually cried toward the end of the play plus it was late and I needed to get to bed.
The play was really well done.
Why did I need to get to bed? Because I had to get up at 5:00 on Sunday morning in order to be at work by 7:00. I worked the Welcome Desk and taught our Sunday School class and got home around 11:45. I made Kodiak protein waffles and two pieces of bacon each for lunch. Actually . . .Mark cooked the bacon in the microwave while I made the waffles. We tried to take a power nap again. I think I slept but Mark was worried about the pipe. He headed outside and then headed to Home Depot and then headed back outside and made the repair. He then ordered a tool so that it would be easier next time! We got dressed again (in shorts) and headed to our friend's house for dinner.
We spent several hours together with four friends and it was much needed for all of us. Our friends grilled chicken and we had slaw and corn on the cob and we dined al fresco . . .and talked and talked until we all had to head home.
It was a good weekend!
It does sound like a good weekend!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing that your husband was able to make the repair!!!! You saved some major $$! Hopefully, that water bill will be much less next month.
ReplyDeleteOh water leaks are so stressful! We have a hole in one of our bedroom ceilings downstairs and the dry wall guy was supposed to come do the repair but his mom is ill so its delayed. We had a small leak which was dry by the time the plumber looked at , but he told us to leave the ceiling open for a couple of weeks to be sure all was well. It's been a month now so I'm ready to close it up. You're lucky your hubs is handy in this way.
