We came home from Delray Beach, FL last evening to a flooded basement. Poor Jenn and her DH had to give us the bad news on Sunday. We had eighteen inches of water! The cat's litter boxes were floating around like lily pads in a pond. DH had to wade through icey waters to see what was amiss. The subpump was doing its job but debris got in the way and stopped up the works. The good news is that our furnace started even though it was flooded. The bad news is that we have to buy a new hot water heater and the cats killed our large floor plant by using it as a substitute litter box. They were pretty smart to seek it out instead of the carpet.
Delray Beach, FL is a nice vacation spot in that it has lots of restaurants, shopping (if you are in the mood for beach wear), and a huge spanse of beach in which to play. DH enjoyed his fellow grade school classmates although they were "into the drink" and he wasn't, which set him apart. I met friendly spouses and almost lost my voice Friday night from talking so much. I had to talk loudly because the party was pretty noisy as the evening wore on. We met at a Brazillian restaurant Saturday night and once again the liquor flowed. I am not judging anyone, but for me it was hard to carry on a conversation with inebriated people. Sunday night we stayed in our hotel room and ate pizza and watched a movie. So nice, so relaxing after a busy weekend.
DH's best friend challenged him to exercise with him every morning at 5:30.am (this after a night of drinking)! DH did his best. They walked 3 miles then his friend went jogging while DH stretched out his muscles. Then, they both jumped into the ocean and fooled around which helped them cool off. I think that this was a special time for DH. Most of his classmates spent their day time together on the beach. Since I cannot do this, DH and I drove to Palm Beach, FL for lunch and look at the mansions on Ocean Blvd. Wow! Some people are not feeling the recession pain as much as others.
