Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo

 Last night I met a friend, Nelta  (dark hair) and some of her other friends for dinner.  I had a trifold bowl I was giving  to her and she had something for me. You know there used to be a  time that I never would have  left the house with my hair pulled back and  no makeup.... That was many, many years ago....MANY! And I would never have put a pic of me with no makeup on the internet..... oh wait. there was not  internet.  haha I think this little, gray  ball of fur loves  her mom.  Looks like Lily fits, so she sits!!! Misty don't box sit so  she it trying to figure out exactly what  Lily is doing. I have the sweetest friends,  even ones I only know via the internet. I met Beneta  via Clubmom, a internet site that used to exist, where moms post pics daily. When Clubmom shut down, we all moved to FB.  But even with that, I got this in the mail the other day. Oh, that was so sweet! Okay, so the packing got  delayed. Well, it is pretty much  all done but there are those  odds and en

Down to the Wire, Stealing the Christmas Tree, The Felines, Rainy Day and Misfire

Image
Down to the wire! Today is Sunday and I have till the 10th to have all packed and ready to go.  Truck will be here early  on the 11th.  I rented a U Haul truck to pick up later today to  load everything in the basement and garage, except for the washer, dryer and freezer. By doing that I can knock off cost of the movers.  I will load the truck this evening,  and head out in the morning, I  am meeting the inspector at the new house in the morn at 8:30, and from there I will run to the storage unit and unload. Till then, I will get things moved  near the garage door, and pack up the  paints this morn. Moving on.... I saw this on FB this morn. Love it. Missing my Christmas decor. Last night I stopped by to  feed my fav clients... Annie Mister Runner for the last time.  I got to love on each one of  them, I will miss them. Saturday, I packed up the car with stuff for storage and headed down the road for unload. It was a nasty, messy, rainy day.  Looks like we will see a tad bit more sun to

Going Away Party Gifts and Cards, The Passing of a Friend

Image
  I really wish that folks who came to say me goodbye, did not bring gifrs but a few did. James made me a famous license plate sign. Everyone that came last night signed the back of it. I LOVE IT! Pam brought me this adorable snowman. And some fresh mistletoe. Ms. Lillian brought me some homemade soap. Chris and Renee had a bag full of goodies. And Rebecca and Brian got a few goodies for me and the new house.  There were such sweet cards with the most beautiful messages in them. Emily made me  this card.  Love that it is handmade. The kids even got to sign it. Cute card from Rebecca and Brian. And this one from Lanita. I LOVE my friends! They are the best!!! On that note, my heart goes out to the family of a sweet and dear friend, Kathy.  Kathy had MS, but two weeks ago she  was in an accident. A school bus hit her. She had internal bleeding and that mixed with the MS, she just could not fight it. She past Thursday morning; This is a pic of me with Kathy, her hubs Buford and  grand chi

Drop in and Grab a Snack and Say Your Goodbyes

Image
 I just LOVE my friends! James and Julie had a drop in for a snack, hug Pam  and wish me luck on  my move. HAHA....Julie went to snap a pic of her, me and James. Course James and I had to be silly. Once the pic was sapped James asked if we should do a normal one, and Julie said,  "this is normal"!!! haha Below is a pic of me and Brian talking. Brian is the BF of  Rebecca, my friend and  realtor. Brian went to the same school as I but graduated two  years after me. Brian calls me Cool Breeze,  cause on FB I will state things like, "Storm coming, buckle down the hatches", or tornado predicted"...etc. Look at this beautiful group.
