Like many we had a hellacious storm last night. Guests had checked in ~ 15 minutes early because they were run out of the big city to beat the storm there. They had gone out to dinner and we did as well. During dinner, it hit... Power out all over the town. We rushed to finish and headed home cautiously, trees down in the road...
So we head down our little windy road and come to the drive, completely covered with large branches from one of the oaks, several fell right where our car would normally be. One just missed the guests rental car!!!
As we were clearing the drive to get in the guy guests came out to help. They said they had just gotten up to their rooms and bammmm. Lights out and the emergency lights came on. After, I brought up some additional flashlights and they were in one room all laughing. They said 'this is our fault, every time we travel together something happens" Could be, they had taken the train down and it had engine trouble and was stopped for 3 hours the day before.
~~~ Had to stop with the post, too much laughing at the table, had to find out what was so funny! - One couple had propped open their balcony door to let in some breeze - our black cat found the opening and made his way in... the wife woke her husband 'there's a cat in here', hubby says yeah, right. Not until the cat meowed again did the hubby jump, they love cats but she said if that cat had jumped in the bed the whole house would have heard her. Then, not to be out done, the other couple started with their story. Joe (not real name) was preparing for bed (picture the Jack Sprat rhyme) with only the aid of flashlight he found a blue pair of pants and put them on, he got into bed and just started wiggling around, these pants just don't feel right, I think they got messed up in the wash or something. She was wondering what it could be, turned on the flashlight and found he had put on her capris -
Glad we have guests with good sence of humor!!!! Today all sunny and bright & much cooler... NOW time to go clean up the yard.
