Who knew that the gift of stopping running
water could be so great? We have been having trouble getting the water turned
off in our kitchen sink. Sometimes it took some serious patience to get it in
the right spot. I kept thinking that it should be tightened, but Leroy, who had
helped Clark install it, said there was no way to tighten it. Instead a new
part would have to be purchased. Leroy did comment that when he was not so busy
he would work on it. Somehow all of that sounded quite remote and not to likely
to happen to my ears.
Yesterday our downstairs friends had
the local “handyman” fixing something. When they asked if we needed anything
while he was there I told about the uncooperative facet handle. In what seems
like no time at all we had a sink that was off and no drips. What a great
thing! I could have danced a jig. I could live with that possible drip but it did
not enrich my life.
Now to go to a totally different
subject, I had set it up so our credit card bill is paid automatically. The
bill should have been paid Monday; however I had not gotten an email notice that
it had been. I get those notices for other bills when they are paid. In a panic
I gathered my number, the name of the person who set up the transfer for me,
the confirmation number, and the phone number of the company. After inputting
my number it informed me that the bill had been paid. Such a relief! I kept
telling myself to calm down with remarks that it is only money and not a life
or a limb belonging to someone I love.
Something to look forward to, Sarah
and her girls with come visit tomorrow. I had planned to pick them up, but will
work instead. So Leroy will have the pleasure of picking them up at the airport.
I never would have thought that my family would be so involved in flying
around, but I am grateful for the possibilities.
