In Seattle, we had escaped the ice but we are now in a very cold and freezing few days which the 700,000 people who showed up for the Seahawks victory parade discovered.
Last night as we were going to bed, my husband commented that it was supposed to drop to 12 degrees overnight. I suddenly remembered that we had uncovered two of our wrapped pipes when we had someone come to power wash the walks and things before putting the house on the market.
So, yes, I put sweat pants under my nightgown, threw on a hoodie, gloves, took a flashlight and recovered the faucet covers and wraps and trudged outside to the front and back yards to rewrap the water faucets so the pipes would not freeze.
I get back in bed to hear my husband groaning and whining about how cold HE is.....sometimes, we deserve medals for keeping a marriage going 24 years under circumstances like this! Mr, Uncommunicative sure was pretty vocal last night!
