The Weekend

So, this weekend was one of the more interesting weekends I have experienced in a while. First, my sister and brother in-law moved out of the motor home because it was getting too cold to sleep in it. They were sleeping in it, in the first place, because they are renovating their new house. Next, because there was no place for them to sleep, they stayed with my parents and I. When we went to turn the heat on because it was cold in the house, the furnace ticked and creaked from lack of use during the summer. We waited for the sound of the ignition of the boiler, and....nothing. That's right, no heat. After trying several times and knocking, kicking and shouting at the furnace, it just was not going to start. Now, if it were just us adults, it would not have been such a big deal, but there were 15 mo. little girls to consider as well. So, we bundled up the girls in their pjs by leaving there socks on in their footy pjs. Then I went to the basement to gather all blankets that could be used by my sister and brother in law. Before going to bed, we also turned on the stove for heat, turned on the ceiling fans to circulate the heat. All in all, it worked really well. On Saturday, the repair guy was called, and visited the monster in the basement. Took a look and stated that he needed to order a part. That night, the same process was gone through again, and Sunday was the same.

Well, that's all folks. Hope your weekend was better than mine.

Talk to you soon~
