My stepfather was a plumbing contractor. When my brother was a teenager he was put to work helping out in the plumbing business. The first day he came home after work and said " I have made up my mind I definitely do not want to become a plumber !" . He was a young teenager at the time.He was good to his word and became a highschool basketball coach and math teacher.

I am one of the biggest DIYers around, buuuuuuuut.....
I don't deal with plumbing or electrical. If I can get poo on my hands or shocked into next week, I just call in the pros.

Well the trench is dug and ready to drop the pipe in...tomorrow...
Now I have to go pay the neighborhood kid for the digging and convince him that HE OWES me for all the soda, chips, junk food, frozen burritos he has raided out of my fridge over the last 10 years!

Just a quick hi, having modem issues, the darned thing could poop out on me any moment.
Had a rare day of gorgeous weather yesterday, so I grabbed my backpack and camera and went to the beach. I walked for 4 hours (yes, very sore legs!). Now I have to do all the housework I skipped yesterday.Have a great day, all!

Good for you, Dutchgirl. Seize the moment! I'm getting more and more into that philosophy.
Sunshine and relatively mild temperatures predicted for today so I may get a wee bit of outside work done after Church before my afternoon "girls'" tea-party. We have decided we never get together to just talk but are always doing stuff so today's the day we try to change that. Of course, there will be knitting and other needlework involved because that's just the way we are. 
On Tuesday morning I'm flying off to visit a 3FC friend who lives near Philly and join in the T-Day festivities. It should be fun. I am 1/4 American - my maternal grandfather swam the St Lawrence to be with my grandmother. He never did get a Canadian citizenship.
Happy remains of the weekend to all!

Gary, I hate it when I don't have a newspaper on Sunday!!!! How can I drink coffee without it??
Fortunately, I have the best newspaper carrier in the world and it never happens.

Good morning from Amsterdam, where gale-force winds and horizontal rain are happening. And I have to go to work in that. On the scooter. 
YUCK!

Why oh why do I leave things until the last minute? Today is jam packed as I leave here at 4 for Ottawa and the early morning flight to PHL. Be good while I'm gone although I will be checking in.

Have a safe trip to work Dutch and on your trip Ruth.
The new water line is in and zero leaks over night at the main...will turn it on from the main to the house, and see if all of our fittings are secure. as soon as it gets light out.

Hope all is well EZ.
Hello All!
Just popping in, the kiddos and I are snuggling on the couch watching movies. Well, not me yet. I had to finish on here first, and have seen the movie way to many times.
