Enjoying spring weather while it is here. Yesterday we took the same route that we took on Monday, except this time the little woodlets and homes had blooms: Redbud, Dogwood, Bradford pear, Forsythia, Service berry, Japanese magnolia, tulips, muscari, hyacinth. It was so pretty!
Our SIL is back on days. He has been on nights for the past 4 months, training for a new position. The whole family is so happy that he is back on days so they can do things together again.
Our son and DIL had a vision for their house when they bought it. It is coming together nicely and is so much more comfy now when we visit. They are so much happier with it.
We got a check yesterday for the damage at one of the rentals during the snow/ice storm. It should cover the work to get it all back to normal.
Talking about insurance, here is a funny story. We noticed when we bought the new property that the retaining wall had given way in one corner, so we would have to repair it. My husband has asked several neighbors if they can recommend anyone to do the repairs. Thankfully, they have all come through, and all say the same company. They told us how it happened. They said that the man who used to live across the street was working on his car. He left it running and, unfortunately, left the door open while he went inside for a minute. When the man came out, he couldn't find his car, but several neighbors were crowded around the water and told him that his big dog had jumped into the car and evidently knocked it into gear. It rolled toward the water, missing three trees in the way. The dog had jumped out unharmed, but the car was underwater. When they pulled it out of the water, it was FULL of fish. Several neighbors showed us pictures, and I don't know if I have seen so many fish at one time. Every inch of that car inside was covered. Of course, his insurance paid to repair the retention wall, but the owners were already in a nursing home, and their grandchildren were living there. It never got repaired.
