why our cottage has become a tourist attraction...

Yes, I'm back, and I do apologize (I do that a lot lately...) I have some great knitting and weaving to show you, as well as a bit of an explanation of my absence, but all that can wait.
We're headed back to the cottage tonight for the weekend and to see the boy after not seeing him for 10 days - he's been at the cottage with the neighbours and my brother in law and his cousin for the past week and a half, living the life of Riley. And if given the opportunity, I believe it's a life all 13 year olds should be so lucky to live...
I have a quick picture to show you for a laugh (and god knows I could use a laugh these days...)
As the backstory - we had a small water leak at the cottage last winter - nothing major, my husband and I fixed it without much effort. But this leak did make it's way to the ceiling tiles, and left a water stain in a spot between our dining table and the door to the deck - in other words, right smack in the middle of the action at a cottage. If you look up, it's what you see.
Our kids think it's hilarious, and have invited their friends over to see it. We think it's equally funny and have shown it off to our friends. My Mother in Law is mortified by it, and wants to change the tiles (no way!)
I'll leave it to you to determine your own reaction...

I just spat out my diet Pepsi. That's hysterical.

It's funny. And awful at the same time. Though, personally, I would leave it for a while as a 'feature', (the funny part) a possible paint job for the ceiling? I don't know if you can still get that kind of tile anywhere. There is a really good product out there called Kilz that will stop it from bleeding through again.

Omg I just made a spectical of myself on the train tonight. You can't make this stuff up. I'd leave it and charge admission. Knitlindy

I vote that it stays. Life's too short not to keep it.
