We are fortunate enough to live in a fantastic, well appointed home.
We really appreciate all that we have. We try very hard to take care of it all, with love.
But today, our water was out for a while....
I laughed to myself after I said this out loud:
"Kids, if you need me I am going out to the hot tub to take a bath.
Oh, and answer my cell phone if it rings, the house phone is not working. again. "
While I was having my bath in the hot tub...a vision came to mind.....
The Beverly hillbillies. Cement pond. Granny. Jethro
I hope none of my neighbors saw me.....
OK, now that's the funniest thing I've read all day!! Was your bath complete with bubbles and all?! Too, too funny!
ReplyDeleteLOL! That's hysterical!
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago, our power in our entire town went out in the middle of August... which meant our gas pumps went out (couldn't ESCAPE!), and our well went out, so we had no water. It was like 110 outside.
Let's just sum it up like this: Laura Ingalls Wilder I'm NOT.
Is the entry gate broken again too?
ReplyDeleteYou really should do a post of where you grew up when I knew you compared to where you live now. (In fact, if you want me to take a pic of the apartments I'll be happy to.... they're on the news regularly these days... drive by shootings and whatnot.... but I'd be happy to don a kevlar vest and take a pic...) :-)
Anyway, YES I know that you (like Ellie Mae Klampett) is well aware how fortunate you are to have a nice, bubbly "cement pond" out back. :-)
HWHL, Yes the gate is broken again. I was not going to compain about it once again...I am starting to sound like some little ungrateful wench.
ReplyDeleteSeriously...I can't wait to downsize. 5 more years.
You don't realize how much your rely on things like electricity and running water until you don't have them!
ReplyDeleteI feel for you. Especially if it's hot. Thank God for cement ponds.
ReplyDeleteYou have an electric gate? Forget the pictures of the apartment and drive-bys, I want to see pictures of your estate...before you downsize.
Just so you know, you don't really need a "house" phone. It took me forever to let go of mine, and once I had Pizza Hut programed into my cell, I never missed the home phone.
Hahaha! I've often been known to count a day of swimming in the cement pond as a bath for my kids - oh yes!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Suz - see you soon - Kellan
Oh, yes, you sound like a real HICK!
ReplyDeleteIsn't is crazy when you say something and wonder to yourself... did I actually just say those words outloud?
ReplyDeletepriceless.
