The Gods Smile On Us Again




Following up on our catsitter's post-Irene report that while we were sipping margaritas in Mexico, he was mopping water from the wall, I called the roofer yesterday to come look at this little leak. When he arrived this morning, the sky had already fallen. Turns out a tiny hole smaller than a dime was responsible for this massive destruction.

Roofer: You know, it was supposed to rain all day today, but the sun came out just long enough for me to repair that hole. I think maybe god is looking out for you!!

Me: [blink. Blink. Arch eyebrows. Deep inhale. Deep exhale Small smile.] I guess you could say that.

I mean, after all, given the amount of rain we had today, had the sun not come out, i suppose the whole house could have collapsed. Or it could have collapsed while my father was sleeping in the now destroyed bed that had been beneath it this weekend. He doesn't mind the couch - he can sleep standing up.

It's always good to look at the bright side.

Well, it shows that even a small hole on the roof shouldn't be ignored and should be patched up immediately. At least the sun came up earlier than expected, giving the roofer more time to repair the hole.
