Good news...bad news and a blog break

I found this picture today from 1957 while going through an old suitcase of old photos.  The reason why I was going through them is because I was trying to save them as they were  in my basement that looked almost this bad this morning.  We had 4 inches of rain yesterday and I found 4 inches in my basement this morning.

I called the plumber and he came right away.  He had to pump the water out as the drain was plugged and then he cleaned out the drain.  It took about 4 hours.  The good news is that it did not get high enough to affect my new water heater I put in last month, nor the furnace.  The bad news is I am going to have to throw out a lot of stuff.  The good news is I have been wanting to get my basement cleaned out so now I will have to do it.  The bad news is I will have to take a blogging break for awhile until I get the mess cleaned up.  The good news is maybe now I can get my basement organized to use as a craft/work room.


I'll be checking your blogs and perhaps leave a comment as time permits.

Have a good week.  I know mine will be busy.
