my village has a weblog, and there is water in our basement, and thank you deb for the sweet bread
Here. Small town stuff, for sure.
Note to self: next time you leave dishes at Deb's, make sure you leave bigger ones so that when she sends her son over to return them full of baked goodies, there is even MORE baked wonderful goodness.
Note #2: Nancy Hansen's home waxing strips SUCK. Pay the $8 and have Susan do them!!
And a shout out to my dear H who spent all morning in his boat shoes wading in freezing basement water, bilging it out.

Water in basements. Yuck. Sounds like y'all had much more than we did, though tramping about the basement in my pj's and rubber boots, armed with a shop vac, ain't so much my idea of fun.
Waxing should be done by professionals. I've learned this lesson so many times now that I thnk it finall stuck. Tee hee.

Oh, the small town blog thing is hilarious. The local paper where I used to live had stuff like this: "Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Stark entertained the Dingley family for Sunday tea" and so on. One of my local students' family regularly showed up in these pages and he said to us once, mortified, that the author of the column would call their house "and dad just TELLS her these things!!" :-)
Hope your basement dries up soon!
