Took the shelving unit outside and pulled back the carpet. No visible mold on the underside of the carpet or anywhere else. Hopefully that is a good sign.

I didn't mean to scare you. A small amount of external moisture from a point where you know it came in can be tracked down pretty easy I would think.
In the case I described, the house sat empty and a water pipe froze and burst in the wall. The visible moisture was easy to clean up, mold was killed on the outside of the walls,but come summertime, the mold spread throughout the lower two floors on the inside of the walls. They stripped the house down to the studs on both lower floors, including ceilings and floors, treated all remaining surfaces for mold exposure, then went back in with new subfloor and flooring, drywall, and plaster.

Its all good. The only thing we can think of is the spigot on the back of the house is right above the spot. If you let it run or something it just goes straight down the outside of the foundation (terrible soil and draining). So somehow it may have seeped in from there is our only thought.
Heh...the other day Mrs. pulled up a set of shades and there was a bb sized spot of mold on the white window frame. She asked "what should I clean it up with"?!?!?! I said, get a rag, wipe it off....
CG: I'm pretty sure I was making all the girls' ovaries squee this morning...2 YO fell asleep in church, Mrs. couldn't hold him anymore, so there I was all dressed up, holding a very cute sleeping 2 YO. Lady in front of us kept turning around and looking @ him.
Oh, and after communion we had a lady come talk about Mary's meals...they provide daily meals out of school kitchens in countries like Malawi. The lady's son is a volunteer in Malawi, she went there for a month. The thing that hit me hardest was that they said that part of the reason for doing it thru the schools is that if you just drop off food (thinking of the scenes from the 80's in Ethiopia of the rice bags dropping out of helicopters)....the conditions are so bad, and the people are so poor...food is their only commodity of value...if they just drop off storable food, it will be traded/bartered rather than eaten...which I guess is okay for adults, it's their choice, but kids that are in growth cycles NEED that food. And, by doing it in schools, it also incentivizes kids to come to school.

I joked with the Mrs....they had a projector, turned on while people were going up for communion....the warmup screen was on, very ghostly at first, you know...I elbowed the Mrs. and said "it's a miracle, God's creating images on the wall over there...but what's NEC, and what does "Empowered by innovation" mean?

ha! DH introduced me. Those are one of his favorite things so I usually get the ones on clearance after Easter and give them to him for his birthday.
one of my bridesmaids got engaged over the weekend. So excited for her......wish she lived closer so we could see each other more than once a year or so. Now I wonder when the wedding will be........
Why do some people feel facebook is an appropriate venue to post some super serious ****?
Every one of my posts is either jokes or song lyrics. I feel that's how Facebook was intended to work.

I think we might be friends on Facebook. Do you also consistently call out all the ******* that talk **** about you just because they're jealous of your life and wanna be you?
