Backtracking

Saturday, Mar. 10, I went to my dad's again to visit some more with my brother before he left on Sunday.

Went to Deb's to spend the night and enjoy the Mother's Day lunch on Sunday. They were calling for heavy storms, so I left there at 3:30 to beat the rain, but it caught up with me in Frederick. From there till I got home it was coming down by the buckets. Got home, unpacked and laid down to watch TV at 9:00. And about 9:30 hopped up and noticed that my feet were cold and wet. At that point, there was about 1 1/2 inches of water halfway across the basement. I kept my cool and got the wet vacuum out and started pumping water until about 1:40 AM. It seemed to have stopped coming in so I quit and laid back down so I could tackle it again in the morning. What a mess!!!!

Cleaned and pushed things around all day and at 5:00, Greg Lucas, and electrician, came to give me an estimate on upgrading our circuit breaker box and adding various other electrical fixtures. I am so tired of blowing circuits everytime I turn on my blow dryer or the toaster oven. Surprisingly, Mike is agreeing that this needs to be done and has given me the go-ahead. Greg is going to start on Tuesday the 20th and finish in a few weeks when he gets another free day.

I am off to watch Kaleigh play basketball now at Mt. Vernon HS so I'll continue later.
