Well, here I am on Easter afternoon in Stockholm, Maine at my Mother-in-Law Margaret's house. Things have just settled down for the day. We arrived last night at 7:30pm to the news that the sewer was backed up. For the remainder of the evening/night all necessary body function was out in the woods or in a hospital camode thing with a plastic bag. I got me some fresh air. Lois and Elaine have already been here since Thursday night. The sewer problem happen shortly before we arrived and of course after the hardware store had closed for the holiday weekend where we could have rented a plumbers snake to try and clear the line. So this morning, Lois, Elaine and Margaret got up early to go to sunrise service then returned to get some breakfast items they had baked for the Easter breakfast at the church, I tagged along, a man's got to eat you know, not to mention the use of a functioning restroom. Ian slept in. Breakfast was good, chatted with some of the folks there. A little while after returning to the house Ian and I went up to Carol's Aunt Carolyn's house to take a shower and had a nice visit there.
Near lunch time we headed to the Nursing home to have Easter Dinner with my father-in-law Alton, Elaine brought a birthday cake as it's Lois' birthday today. Afterwards Lois and Elaine headed back south, Margaret, Ian and I headed to Stockholm but stopped first at the Brigade Lodge to pick up two canoes that belong to Alton and Greg. We made two trips with a stop at the camp in between to see how things are looking there after winter. Still some snow under the trees and most of the lake has a slushy/ice covering. The yard is a mess of leaves and sticks. Plenty to do there later this spring.
After finishing moving the canoes Ian and I are ready to hang out at the house. I started a half pot of coffee then took Margaret to Carolyn's for afternoon coffee and I came back to my fresh pot, grabbed a snack and here I am working on today's blog. Oh, the sewer line may have cleared up on it's own, seems we can flush with out a problem though Margaret may still need to have it checked out.
May you have a Happy Easter.
And a special Happy Easter to my wonderful wife Carol who's home, and Mom and my brothers and sister's families, I love you all.
