First the good - we had WONDERFUL guests over the last 4 days...all of them were fantastic & we thoroughly enjoyed having them here.  Some were here for several days & there were some one night stays in there.  A great group of folks!

The bad Part 1 - Faucet in our suite with the full kitchen decided to stop working when the guests were in there fixing dinner on the 4th of July.  Great. Nothing open to get a replacement.  They were great about it & we teased them that we wouldn't charge them for breaking it.  haha!  My dh went to the hardware store the next day & got a much better quality faucet (Moen...the other one in this second house of ours was a piece of junk).  Water connections that the guy had him buy were wrong.  He had to go back to the hardware store...swearing, of course.  Got the faucet in & everything was great.

The bad Part 2 - We're cleaning the rooms in our second house Sunday afternoon.  Big thunderstorms roll in.  We see a huge flash of lightning & big thunder boomers that look like it was right above our main house & are like, "Wow, that was close!"  Almost done with the cleaning over there & there's a break in the weather so my dh comes back home to get something.  House is dark.  Checks the electric panel & half the circuit breakers are tripped.  He starts checking around.  The damages: LCD TV in kitchen - sound but no picture...toasted (the only friggin' TV in the house not on a surge protector).  Fortunately, it's under extended warranty.  The electronics in my beautiful 5 burner range...gone, so can't use the oven.  The DVD/VHS unit in our bedroom...dead.  Portable phones....also dead.  Two emergency plug in lights...dead as doornails.  Clock radio in our bedroom...also dead.  Here's the BIGGIE - our downstairs A/C unit is totally not working.  Dh did all he could & called the HVAC guy to come out in the morning.  Fortunately, the rain cooled things down or we'd be sleeping upstairs where there's A/C...it is the South here! 

Last but certainly NOT least - we have no phone & they will send a service technician within 24 hours.  Anyone calling just gets a rapid busy signal.

Interesting end of the weekend........
