Crazy Weekend

(This photo taken by Baba)

It's hard to describe the kind of day (and weekend) it was. It was difficult, frustrating, and wonderful all at the same time. The mystery puddle of water in the kitchen we got yesterday turned out to be a slab pipe leak under our kitchen sink. The bad news kept coming as the day went on. We have a leak, the floors have to come up, maybe the walls, maybe the cabinets, possible repiping, it might take weeks! It was hard enough to wrap our minds around this when we were preparing for a family member's funeral and planning for a friend who was staying with us for the weekend. The visit was planned before there was any death or funeral or pipe leak or construction, but somehow God made it work. We got to have the company of a good old friend of mine and we got to say our goodbyes to a beloved woman who lived a long and full life.
