Andy surprised me this morning with this beautiful bouquet of roses. Of course, I finally had to put them on the back porch to prevent Taco from eating them. That cat is a fool about plants and flowers. But they look pretty on the back porch.
I haven't blogged in several days because I've been busy busy busy. On Friday, I chanced to see a wet spot on the living room ceiling. After some inspection, I found that a drain in the upstairs air conditioning had clogged, causing an overflow from the condensation tray. The carpet in the small storage room adjacent to the guest bedroom, as well as the closet in the guest room, was soaked. I called the A.C. service people and they sent a man right out. He fixed the clogged drain but the awful job of drying the carpet has fallen to me.
First I had to move everything out of the areas that were soaked, bring the shop vac upstairs, and vacuum up as much water as possible. Then I got every fan I have and set them up to blow on the carpet. The closet is now dry, but the area in the storage room is still pretty wet. So now I have a space heater in there as well as two fans. I'll still have the job of putting everything back in place after all the carpet is dry.
The living room ceiling appears to be dry. There is still a ghost of a stain on it, but I don't believe anyone who doesn't know it's there would ever see it. It's very faint and small.
I'm just glad the a.c. unit had not gone out, as I had at first suspected.
I enjoyed a great Mother/Daughter luncheon and program at church yesterday. As none of my daughters could be in attendance, Lori stood in for them. I won a door prize (butterfly ring holder) and my table favor was a spray bottle of Avon Skin So Soft (which I have always loved). The food was wonderful and so was the program.
Then I came home and watched the movie "Life of Pi" and cried and cried.
Then I watched a Lifetime movie. Then I went to bed.

What lovely roses and how thoughtful it was of Andy to surprise you with them! I wonder what their name might be. Was it on the tag?
You know I hear you about plant eating cats. Our Tom has thought all indoor plants were salad for his enjoyment since he was a kitten. What a bother! I have to put any flowers in my sewing room which has a screen door and hook to keep the cats OUT.
A friend had a similar disaster with a flood in her home from a malfuctioning AC unit. Her homeowner's insurance paid for the repair and replaced the carpet because she had asthma and couldn't take the chance on mold forming. It sounds like your fans have done a good job and methinks you should call in strong young men to help put the rooms to rights again.
Happy Mother's Day!
Hugs!
