The latest flood
Along with the bat story, below, my parents also woke up to a flood in the basement. Again. This time, a pipe burst. In the library. There are probably 16 fully loaded bookcases in there, so the carpet can’t be air dried very easily. Dad used their carpet cleaner machine to suck up water for about 5 hours. I pulled another 3 gallons of water out of the carpet too. The plumber finally arrived and it took about 2 hours to fix the problem. Apparently the carpet can not be salvaged, so strong men must be hired to pack up the books, move the book cases. Then Beth & Dad will lay a tile floor in there. Good choice!
Batmen and Robin
Somehow a bat got into my parents house yesterday. Their cat was very fascinated with trying to catch it and was tearing all over the house batting at it. Dad tried to shoo it out the window for a while, then it hid behind a bookcase. It finally took three grown men to catch the bat in a trash can with the clothes hamper lid. Here are the mighty bat warriors:Notice that Tim is wearing 'professional' protective clothing...a coat and gloves...so that he is not bitten or scratched by said poor bat.And here's the cute little fella before he flew away:

Great story! I noted with admiration that your daughter (sorry; forgot which one) laid tile for you. It seems your family can do anything. I enjoy all three blogs. Keep up the good work.
