from the ‘one up’ department
i was on a prayer walk with the ladies from church saturday night, and BFG had agreed to come down to the beach to light the bonfire around 8:30 pm…
at about 8:15, we saw a line of thunderstorms rolling in, and we all high-tailed it as fast as we could back to the fire pit so we could decide what to do. i met BFG there, and he said ‘hey! have you ever wanted to replace the sliding glass door?’
uh-oh. you can tell that this will be bad. expensive and bad. boyo isn’t bleeding tho and neither is BFG, so i assumed they had survived the wrestling match. but out loud i said ‘noooo. why?’
evidently, both BFG and boyo had been in the master bedroom when they heard this tremendous BANG! both wondered what it was and came to investigate.
ever had a bird hit the window? yeh. kinda like that, only lots bigger. in our neck of the woods, the only animal big enough to hit the window and CRACK it, is a deer (i thought, ‘well let’s see–turkey? no. fox? no. coyote? no. bird of prey? maybe. *checks impact point* no. it had to be a deer). BFG went outside to investigate and heard the stumblings of a large animal headed to the top of the dune.
so the sliding glass door cracked for the rest of the night. it’s safety glass, so it’s actually a very pretty pattern…all covered in plastic, and such.
today, BFG is calling the insurance company to find out what we’re going to do. really. i hadn’t wanted to replace that door. home improvement was sorta focused on the bathroom…but i guess we’ll beautify the back door now…
