A Lazy River


Why is it that all of my stories somehow have a bathroom experience involved??


The one moment that I sit down to take a break in my 'oval office'.  I'm sitting there and all of a sudden I am hearing a noise in the plumbing, the actual plumbing, not mine, and I am thinking, "That doesn't sound good"!!


Next thing I know, Miss K is running into my 'office' and telling me that Mr. C has broken a sprinkler and it is flooding all over.  Really???  Seriously???  This had to happen now??  When I can in no wise do anything about it until nature has taken it's doo course???


I finally get done with my business and come outside to see a lovely river in my front yard!  I'd asked The Natives to dig up the paving stones that we walk on that were getting eaten by the grass and could hardly be seen so that we could make our front walk look nice.

Guess us joking to Levi that we were making a lazy river in our front yard when he asked what we were doing yesterday became a reality!

I hate it when pipes explode!  The timing is never convenient!!

    1. Thanks to my neighbor Kevin driving by and being amused at me and my adventures, he helped us fix the problem. Thank you though!!! I'm just grateful I knew how to turn off the water! We apparently need to have another FHE where we take The Natives around and show them all of the 'shut off' things in the house and yard. Power, gas, water, etc.!!

    1. We were able to laugh about it. Thankfully, it was an easy fix for sprinkler problems. I've just learned to laugh and get the camera. These things, they happen, there are worse things to worry about.
