Scary

My husband was trying to call his mom to wish her a happy birthday. He couldn't get her all day Saturday. The strange thing was, her answering machine was not picking up. So we figured that maybe she accidentally turned it off, as my parents have occassionally managed to do. We were a bit worried. We try to call her next door neighbor, but there's no answer there. So, we figure, try again tomorrow.

Sunday morning, we get a call from a friend who has not been able to reach her since Thursday. This freaks us both out, and not being able to reach her neighbor either makes us think dire scary thoughts.

So Kev hops on a train and runs out there.

We are both trying not to imagine the worst.

Two hours later, he rings the doorbell, and there's mom, fit as a fiddle.

Her phone line was dead.

Whew.

So, she got an unexpected visit for her birthday. And we nearly had heart failure...
