Got some of that new fangled indoor plumbing but here "down the road from Dogpound" is a pretty uptown kind of spot and Brenda insisted on running water before she would move in. I thought she could run and get that water but was soon disabused of that notion. Glad to here you are on the road to recovery.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-13342456591802892602010-10-08T09:58:38.687-05:002010-10-08T09:58:38.687-05:00We certainly have come a long way from the time of...We certainly have come a long way from the time of our grandparents and great-grandparents. <br /><br />Hang in there each day will get better!Wayne and Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707083374034910289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-24388376655071538892010-10-08T09:35:40.710-05:002010-10-08T09:35:40.710-05:00I was born a city girl, so I never dealt with out ...I was born a city girl, so I never dealt with out houses until I took up camping in my teens. :) <br /><br />Hope everything comes out all right. :)Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-30088895837383255302010-10-08T09:10:54.661-05:002010-10-08T09:10:54.661-05:00At least the surgeons managed to connect all those...At least the surgeons managed to connect all those plumbing pipes back together right and it's all going in the right direction!!

No indoor plumbing, coal oil lamps, etc. Despite the mess the world is in today I sure do enjoy the progress of inside plumbing!! You will enjoy your new indoor plumbing as well as soon as you get the leaks stopped.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.com
