Miss A's new friend!

Mark and Susan from Canada visited us. Miss A found a new friend: Sue!

We picked Susan and Mark from the airport together with A. It took us a while to get to home, I took all possible detours. THe reason: our house stinks again. Since the snow started melting, the smell came back. P and I were quite not happy. P even went the morning of Susan and Mark' arrival to get some air freshners. (also smelly stuff!) After lunch (of course at a restaurant) we came home. We could smeeeel the air fresheners.

When it was time pick up Miss F, A decided to stay with Sue. Then I knew they were friends. It did take another day for Miss A to learn Sue's name, but the first night she asked me if Sue was sleeping over.

Luckily, Mark and Susan didn't have to spend all their time in the smell. We got the plumber here and found out that the sump pit was not sealed properly by another plumber - if a plumber doesn't understand what "seal the pit" means, what can I tell more@?! The house got better. Basement is still a problem area, but who uses the basement anyway! We should pay rent for 2/3s of the house.

OK, enough of the smell. We had very nice two days with our visitors from Canada. Miss A will never forget them!
