Today was so pretty that we ate lunch on the porch in 77 degrees. No bugs. Also no birds. Couldn't even see a buzzard on the wing. Nancy is a great cook. I bought a box of liquid center chocolate mix and Nancy made the muffins that were fantastic to a chocoholic. I don't know whether walking to the mail box will be enough exercise for that kind of dessert or not.
We went in Tuesday to buy a new hot water heater. Lowes web site says if you order one day it will be installed the next. Turns out that they contract the labor to plumbers and they are working on emergencies, so the last promise we have is for tomorrow morning. Hope it works out. I am looking at a water filter and a method of preventing the lime build-up in the heater. I can't find anyone that has installed Easy Water to know whether it will work or not. The filter says it won't remove lime. The Lowes salesman claims it works for him on his ranch. The main buildup of lime is in the water heater.
Today I wrote my column, posted to my creation blog, wrote the minutes of last night's church council meeting and still got a short nap. My accountant, Nancy, has been working on taxes as well as building the improvements to the plastic storage cabinets on the back porch. She is good with a drill, sawing boards and driving nails and screws plus painting. She wanted to be an architect when she was in high school. Would have made a good one. She said the counselor kept telling her that all the positions she would do well at were only for men. She also wanted to be a telephone operator where they plugged the phones in to a big board. Didn't get to do that either. Being good at math she ended up in bookkeeping jobs.
