It has been quite the week. I thought China was shooting up through my house the first time the kids used their new dryer. Lol, it moved over 5 inches WITH Melanie holding onto it for dear life. I maybe should have checked our foundation after that. The new washer wasn't working right but we found out today the shipping bolts were never removed. Uhm, Bob, those instruction manuals can be a help when you open them. :)
3 days ago, we came home after a long day of heat and errands everywhere. Melanie walked downstairs and soon I heard, "I have a serious situation down here!!! Tell my dad I NEED him down here NOW!! I made the grand kids stay upstairs as Dan ran down... moments later coming up the stairs with both hands wrapped around a large Dove. (Crap) He ran outside. Meantime, I sneaked down and peeked into Melanie's bedroom and gasped. Truly gasped. And again. Bella, our cat, flew past me and ran outside and there it was. The entire room (carpet, walls, ceiling, both bunk beds and cabinets) covered in every size feather imagine. The lighter than air tiny ones still floating and landing in nooks and crannies. Mel vacuumed everywhere but for 2 more days more feathers appeared.
The good news? Dan had laid the Dove gently down and a half hour later it sat up, brushed itself off and flew away...dents, nakedness and all the sweet thing, I'd like to think, found her worried Lonesome Dove and was attended to.
Last night Bella brought in a "large" but dead Katydid and deposited in front of Melanie's computer but poor Abby found it first. Screams! It was disposed of.
We are awaiting more "presents" she brings home. And I was worried about her.
Believe it or not, this is just a piece of the adventurama that is now our new lives together. Lovin' it!
