...and she clicked her Ruby Red slippers and said " There is no place like home!"
We arrived back in SC about 5 pm, stopped to get a few groceries, piled them on top of the stuff in the back seat and headed home. It started to snow/rain as we travelled down #4 and we figured Yep ....show us your force Mr Winter. ......but we did pack in a box of sunshine and heat and you should be getting it by weekend..lol
We got the heat turned up and brought in a few things from the car and then started the task of trying to get the water turned on and the hot water heater lit.
Harvey flipped the switch for the pump and NOTHING. He then made the crawl under the house to look at the pressure system and poke at it a bit. STILL NOTHING He flipped the breaker a few times and then left a message for our Plumbing Prince Harry at the Coop to call us. We figured no water tonight until he could come out tomorrow and fix the problem.
We went next door to our friend Donna's place to see we could turn on her water in case we needed to go to the toilet and then came home to find the water was working..... I guess the Plumbing God just wanted to show us his power too....
Then the task of bringing into our house a house hold of things from Arizona......lots of things we will not take next time. I think I heard Harvey murmur..."you are not taking all this crafting crap next time". By 9 pm we were fading so fast we finally figured we needed to eat , so made a plate and turned on the TV........NOTHING......yes the TV did not have any channels. We had turned off our Bell service for the time we were away and I guess when they turned it back on at the end of February it needed some re setting. I called the toll free line and got the Grump from Bombay..... He lead me through a long process and finally got it working.
Today we will start putting things away so we can walk through the rooms again, washing clothes, putting away all my boxes of craft supplies.....and look out the window at the snow and grey skies and wonder WHY?
I will do one more post tomorrow and then this baby will be put to bed....
