Stephanie, I am glad that my dh discovered the problem He has uncovered other problems while trying to put this hot water heater in. There is always something. We are roughing it with not having any hot water or working water in the house. My son came home from camping this weekend, from a place with no running water to a home with no running water. He really wants to take a shower after being out in the hot sun all weekend. Maybe, my dh will have something done so that we have the running water in the house. After all he likes his showers and needs to go to work tomorrow.
Stephanie, I am glad that I finally started the blog. It has been a long time coming. Everyone kept urging me to start one, and being up all hours of the night, so I needed to do something. I thought that I lost this writing because my computer popped up a windows error message. Whew! I wouldn'r remember what I wrote if I had to do it again.

You can add an Etsy widget to put in your sidebar so that your aprons you sell will show up and be linked.

Steph, Somehow I missed the bottom half of the last page and didn't see your post! Things have been quite hectic around here and I don't seem to know whether I am coming or going! Thank you so very much for sending me leaves!!!! :) I will post pics of all of my finds from this weekend! I also got a little round waffle iron for free and I used it tonight and it works great! We had eggs, potato latkes and waffles and it was so yummy especially on a cold windy evening!
Sharon, I hope you have hot water now!
Well I am off to clean up a bit and then go to bed!!
Good Night, Ladies
Monica

Hello dear friends!!
It's been another busy week. Each day we have had an appt. On Monday we went on a field trip to John Adams Historical Park. It was wonderful. Last week the kids and I watched the HBO series on John Adams. It was so well done. We really enjoyed it.
Steph~I can't believe she is driving. It sure does make me nervous. She wants to be an RN and work in the OR. She is going to go to school locally unless she gets a scholarship to somewhere else. It's all we can afford. College costs are sky high. My husband just interviewed for another position with the bank. This dept. is not expecting any cuts and he would feel more secure there. Your vintage aprons will look great!!
Monica~Wow~those are great finds!!! I have wanted a grain mill for a while, too, but they are so expensive. Can't wait to see pictures of your goodies. Do you know when you're moving. I have some books~homeschool books for the kids. I was wondering if you were at all interested? If you are let me know. I can take a picture of them and send you the titles.
Sharon~Glad to hear that you have running water now. That is a pain.

Gals, the joy of having running water was short and sweet. Turns out that the pressure gauge is defective, so when dh ran the water, he found a leak. This pipe is in a hard place and runs horizontal. This makes it hard to solder the copper pipe. So....it is back to filling up buckets again. When everything is up and running, it will be nice. Our water pipes run underground(not sure why), so the water gets cold quick, and it takes a long time for the water to warm up for the showers. Dh is installing a pump, which will recirculate the water, so that the water will be hot when we need it. He is eventually going to bypass the underground pipe.

I'm curious about your homeschool books as well.... The ones I've really been drooling over lately are some of the Usborne books since we're pretty darn sure FIL threw out the Usborne books hubby had back in the day. *sigh*

What some people won't do when stealing an animal. This is from our local newspaper about a man in Florida.
Police: Florida man stole ferret by shoving in pants
Associated Press
Posted: 10/29/2009 09:33:49 AM PDT
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — It's one thing for shoplifters to hide plunder in their pants. But a live ferret?
Police say a homeless man in north Florida did just that. And he made it out the door before being challenged.
Thirty-eight-year-old Rodney Bolton is charged with theft over the $129 animal that police say he took from a pet store in Jacksonville Beach.
A 17-year-old witness confronted Bolton in the parking lot and was bitten by the animal after the man allegedly shoved it in the teen's face.
That confrontation makes the ferret a "special weapon" under Florida law. So Bolton also faces battery charges for dangerously wielding the animal.

Sharon,
LOL... This guy is definitely on the list of stupid thieves....the other thing that blew me away is that they are selling ferrets for $129.00!! Good grief....I think the last time I saw one for sale it was $10.00
Hope you have hot water!!
----------
Ruth,
I hope your husband gets the position in the other department....Your daughter should never lack for a good job with the choice she has made. Plus so many of these health related positions can be obtained in as little as 2 years at a technical college....College is so very expensive.
----------
Monica,
You've really found some good deals lately! I used to have a round waffle maker...used it til it went up in smoke! I've haven't forgotten the leaves or the silk thread..I'll get back to you next week about your yardage.
----------
I have my PiNk Saturday Halloween post up today...stop by to look!! Halloween has gone PINK..hehe
See ya,
Steph

Gals, we do have running water again. Yesterday, we were without gas while dh was working on the gas line for the new water heater (it is back on). Today, after coming home from the farmer's market, I thought to myself, "at least we have electricity." Well, dh and our oldest son were working on the electricity for the new water heater. Dh wants a separate circuit breaker for the hot water heater, so the electricity was going on and off, while dh and our son were figuring out what circuit breaker turned off what.
It will be soon when we have hot water (it has been at least 5 months). Sigh.....Not having hot water has really put me to the challenge when doing a lot of things around the house.

Sharon, I hope you get hot water soon!! You truly are a farmgirl!!
Steph, I have to say that one of the best things I found was a gravy separator cup! I made chicken noodle soup and needed it to strain off some of the oil from the chicken! I have looked for one at the market and they never seem to have one. I got one for .50! I need to get pics up on my blog of all of my finds!! Oh, I can't wait to get pretty leaves!!
Hope everyone has a great day!!

Monica, over 30 years ago, I said after the honeymoon, "If I can make it through this, I can make it through anything." We chose to go camping. Dh thought that this log was a part of a trail-not, so we had to either go down the slipper log (above a ravine), or go down the steep incline. We went down the steep incline. It was also thought that dh broke his arm after changing a flat tire on a heavy truck with camper shell, when something heavy slammed down on his arm, casing his elbow to ram against the pavement. We also had a tire blow out in the middle of no where on a freeway up in northern California. Fortunately, we had a cb radio (remember those things?) and the police officer in the sky caught our message. We also stayed at a hotel up north. Now one wouldn't think too much of that, but they had an infestation of grasshoppers or crickets (can't remember which), but when we ate, they were everywhere. Needless to say, I lost my appetite. They even came in the room.

Well, lookey who finally found her way out from under her messes!!!!! Yes, that would be me. Where have I been, getting well, getting hubby well, looking around my house and nearly having a cornary. Where did all this mess come from? I did it, but dang it is bad. So have been puttering a little bit at a time while trying to get us ready for winter here. I swear I am running behind that crazy 8 ball. I have missed you gals and will try and find my way back to this computer much more often.
