Drying out and letting go
Here's a riddle for you.
What do you get when you cross six inches of rain in two days with a house built in the 60s? Answer: A flooded basement.
Bonus question. Multiple choice, so it's easier.
Does the flood (A) stay in the unfinished side of the basement or (B) flow through the door and under the wall, thereby soaking the carpet on the finished side of the basement? Answer: B.
And so we are making good use of our old towels and little fans, trying to dry the carpet out as quickly as we can. As for the unfinished basement, it bears a smell strikingly similar to the one we arrived home to after our honeymoon six years ago. The flood was a little worse then. But as we have done before, we'll eventually get it back to normal.
Switching gears, this is going to be two posts in one. Blogging hasn't been on the priority list lately. Hope to remedy that soon.
It's mid-November. Preseason work is done, and basketball tryouts start Monday. Which means we must let go of Brandon for a while.
We'll see him every once in a while, in sort of a "Good morning - bye!" or "Hi - good night!" way. He'll be with us some Sundays, and hopefully Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. And of course we'll get to wave to him at the games.
Brandon is very excited, and so are we. This is a big deal. We are praying that God will have His way in this new role He has given to Brandon.
Let the madness begin.
