Saturday Feb. 20/2010 7:30pm

I am sitting here in the house with the windows open and the ceiling fans on low feeling just right. We had a good supper (roast beef with sweet potatoes and vegges) and I am feeling ready for bed already. We had an exciting day today. At 8 am the guy from the store showed up and wanted his paint sample booklet back. Luckily we had made our decision on the color shade. I was doing laundry while brushing my teeth when suddenly I had no water left and Richard came flying in and started shutting off breakers in the box. The pump pipe snapped in half. Water everywhere in the storage room. We had absolutely no water. Too bad the guy from the store had already left, we could have hitched at ride to look for parts. Richard jumped on the bike and luckily was able to get parts and fix the pump. He is the "jack of all trades". Luckily, they use plastic for pipes here as I don't allow him to solder with copper piping. We have not had good luck using that material. So, our water is flowing and my teeth are clean.

We finished our sealer/primer on the whole house. Tomorrow we will paint. We are putting our bodies in high speed mode. We also worked a little on the beach again. It is looking better every day. Yea! Soon we have to stop and take photos again.

  1. c & r, finally got to read all or your blogs. it's sunday night. did you get my e-mail regarding Phyllis? your place looks really nice. love your view from the beach. wouldn't like the lizards though. i can't figure out why you have to do wash everyday though. it your machine really tiny. i love to hang out also, can't wait for spring so i can start again. amanda will take g & g down to the library. if she sits in the car with them her laptop will work in front of the library so they can see and read also. i worry that you are moving all those rocks and they will wash in again with big waves. enjoy your last fews days and don't work so hard. love peg
