Stuff really does come in 3's!!

Our landlords in Ireland are leaving today!! Gonna ret up (a Pittsburgh term) the house for us.. So looking forward to our trip.. We can keep in touch via Internet.. what a marvelous invention!...
Things happen in 3's, right?? First a new furnace, second, took the dog to the vets yesterday and he has a HERNIA?? Really??? It's not bothering him now but it does sound like major surgery.. Where's doggie Blue Cross-Blue Shield when you need it?? The vet hadn't seen one in 15 years!!
Then get home to find our grinder pump is broken.. What's a grinder pump, you ask? When we bought this place 35 years ago, it was on well and septic.. the well is still amazing, but the septic never functioned properly.. We put tons of money into it, but the clay soil here never perked right.. When the new homes near us were built, we hooked into their public sewer system, but us being on one side of the hill, and them being on the other.. we had to pump the stuff over the hill to drain.. that's the pump that just broke... So right now, we have heat and water..Yea.. but can't let any of it out till the pump comes.. hopefully tomorrow..
Looking on the bright side, glad it broke before we left the country!!
So, hopefully that's our 3 for awhile!!
