that I would post again
this sooooooon?
;)
No more worries! The water came on yest sometime after noon. Ahhhhhhh. I tell you- that (white ceramic 'thing') in the smallest-room-of-the-house was so happy when I wiggled its little handle. It gurgled with happiness. So did we.
And by this morning, we had hot water, too! What more could you want?!? (Mind you- in this building, hot water is only on part of the time ever. Like Tues and Thurs mornings, every evening and (all day, I think) Sat and Sun. I mean really- what would you need hot water for the rest of the time? Eh?)

On a serious note- something I've thought of often the last 7 years, shared by an acquaintance: If there's one thing I've learned in my xx years of life it's that I never know WHAT (speaker's name) is going to do tomorrow. Best not to say stuff like- What was he/she thinking? I would NEVER do that!!! Pretty good advice, I think.
We've eaten more super yummy grapes right off the vine this fall than I ever have in my life. And that put me in the mood for grape jelly. A totally unheard of thing here. Seriously. They eat lots of fruit/berry preserves but no one ever has had grape jelly (until one of us makes it and shares it). Pectin is also hard to find here. I hunted around the market yesterday and found some locally made stuff and some Polish stuff. Got 2 pkgs of each. And 3 kgs of grapes. Which tasted good but were not exactly as juicy as I'd hoped. Did them up tonight. There are 8 sm to med jars of (hopefully) jelly cooling in the kitchen now. It didn't look too hopeful in the 'setting up' deptartment. I finally retreated to my room so as to quit looking at them. See the thing is- the pectin here just isn't SureJell. SureJell has it down pat how to do each fruit/jelly/jam. This pkg had 1 set of instructions for everything. (Tremble. I'm scared, Mommy. Ok, not really. Maybe.)

Glad you have water!! :) We, however, don't!! Well, we had a trickle most of the day but you can't do too much with a trickle...tonight it's all gone BUT we have a big tank of rain water outside and in desperation I just hand washed some clothes at 7pm in the dark!! Must be back in the Tropics!! Hugs to you and K too.
ReplyDeleteOh I hear you on the trickle bit! Hope you get your water back soon!!!
DeleteOne of my companions sacrificed her rare treat of candy corn when she was a little girl in Ky. cause she thought she'd have more if she planted it :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the jelly! C. and Oleva
P S Norma Nodorf's funeral is Sat. a.m. Rena Hesebeck's is tomorrow A.M. Robert is busy!!
Too bad you can't grow candy corn from candy corn seeds! I'd have a garden full!!!
DeleteLove your comics! well then... no pectin, but you have a crockpot. do you have apples? and cinnamon? and cloves? and sugar? make some apple butter, i tell ya!
ReplyDeleteYes, we do have apples. But turns out I'm the only fan of apple butter here in this house so.... we're eating apple sauce instead! But I'm keeping the apple butter idea in me head, I tell ya! ;)
