Enough Already !!! ???

Dear Fellow Blog Followers,

Don't you hate it when you think you have completed everything you needed to do before taking a trip somewhere and then major crap happens?  Well, we thought we did everything we could before we moved to Dallas to make sure our Calgary home was in tip top shape.

Our sons (Aaron 23 and Brandon 19) remain in Calgary taking care of everything Kevin and I would normally do.  The only thing in the immediate future was to make sure the roofers showed up to put new shingles on the house/garage.  Easy peasy!!!

However, not so...  Here's what happened in Calgary while we were experiencing our first week in Dallas.

• Jeep - Needed to be booked in for new brakes as this was noticed after we were dropped off at the airport.
• Furnace - Making weird noises, booked the furnace guys in, they had to order a new part, booked them to come back and fix it.
• Huge Flying Ants - Aaron came home to huge flying ants inside the front door and foyer (too many to count according to Aaron who is afraid of spiders, so I'm thinking ants too?).  Found a bunch more at the bottom of the stairs. Vacuumed them up, discarded the bag, called the exterminator and booked them in a few days later.  Gross!!!
• ADT Emergency - Exterminators sprayed quite heavily in an area sensitive to the alarm system.  So, while Aaron and Brandon (and Cosmo) were outside raking leaves (yes, Cosmo helps too), we got an emergency call in Dallas with ADT telling us that the alarm was going off in the house as a flooding sensor was alarmed in the basement.  HOISH!!!  This obviously was from the exterminators spraying.  Aaron and Brandon had to reset the alarm system with the ADT rep.

Could anything else possibly go wrong so soon?  Let's hope we're good to go for a long time!!!

Great Job - Aaron & Brandon!!!
