Pray pardon the silence here on the blogosphere. We’ve had an interesting week. It all began when one of my boys flushed a small hairbrush down the toilet. That was fixed by my Dad, but calling a plumber unveiled a deeper problem: a faulty old sewer line punctured in areas with roots–even roots from a tree cut down years ago.
The kiddos are loving it, however. A John Deere backhoe, a dump truck or two, and even a cement mixer are showing up in Grandpa’s driveway. Never mind the fact that this wasn’t exactly on my parents’ list of things to do this Fall; as far as the boys are concerned, they probably planned it just for their entertainment, and they appreciate it. 😉
I am an author and domestic engineer enjoying unbounded domesticity with the husband of my dreams, three fine brave rascally knight errants, seven lovely princesses-in-training, twelve chickens, an indoor cat, and an outdoor cat. And bees, coming soon.

What an unpleasant surprise for your parents! There was a house in our neighborhood that got torn down this year, and my kids sure enjoyed watching that process–heck, I did too!
