CHIPMAN, N.B.—A New Brunswick man has posted an infectious video of his elderly parents checking out the family’s flooded-ravaged cottage, demonstrating there can be laughter in disaster — and after 46 years of marriage. “This may prove interesting, may prove funny, or disastrous,” Darlene says in the video, giggling. The cottage, owned by Darlene and her two siblings, was built by her father in 1961 when Darlene, 72, was a teenager. “I don’t think he’s put his big toe in the water.” Darlene, who offered to check on the cottage herself, said her husband didn’t get hurt when he fell. She said it isn’t flood insured, but hopes the government will help cottage owners like herself cover some of the damages.
