Good 32º foggy morning. Day 7. Yesterday about 2pm
while I was in the kitchen working on the turkey soup I heard some strange
noises. Then the water started trickling out of the faucets I had the valves
open on. OMG WATER~ It slowly filled the toilet tank and I got emotional when it
would flush!!! So, left it trickling. Unfortunately the stress has returned.
It's still just trickling, not free flowing! A call into the plumber. Me thinks
that is because there is another broken pipe somewhere and the water is going
out ....... Gadz I am sooooooooooooooooooo tired of this. I want things back to
normal.
I did go into town yesterday... post office, bank, market, and Ace. Got
lots of veggies for the turkey soup. I had boiled the bones and some with meat,
set the pot on the outside back porch. Brought it in and took the meat off the
bones. It was frosty and partially frozen.
Then I chopped up a leek, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and added in some
mini-potatoes.
Also added in basil, garlic powder, diced jalapeños, salt and pepper, and
some grape tomatoes....
Today I'm going to thicken it up with maybe cream of mushroom or chicken
soup or... flour and water. We'll see...
Joan Knoeppel said I should post this poignant timely poem on my

SHIT,
ITS
COLD!!
This from former high school friend and neighbor...Ellen
Naugle Pantalone .... as she said, "had to share".....
Two blondes were going to
Disneyland. They were driving on the I-5 freeway when they saw a sign that said,
"Disneyland LEFT". They started crying and turned around and went
home.
Yesterday I received this from email pal, Gator... was going to send it to
my Italian friends but decided to share it with everyone. Great video... "10
Things We Love About Italy and Italians" !!!
Okie dokie.... tomorrow's football lineup...
This is good news for the Dolphins, but not for my Patriots:
"Tom Brady was a limited participant in back-to-back
practices for the first time this season due to his right shoulder injury.
Obviously, Brady will play Sunday against the Dolphins, but it's a trend worth
pointing out. Brady has been on the injury report since Week 8, but his only
other limited practices were the Thursdays of Weeks 8-9. He had been a full
participant since."
.... and forgot to mention the unbelievable game Thursday night ...
A couple of special occasions today... my dear friend from high
school, Annalee (Carlin) Fortini and her man Led are celebrating their 45th
wedding anniversary today. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KIDS! What a glorious wedding you
had... red carpeting and huge white Christmas trees in the church, our pretty
green dresses and holly bouquets!
Here is the Fortini
website...
.... and also from
Wilson celebrating a birthday today is Barbetta (Hanson) Suttles.... married to
Dan...
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY BARBETTA!
(still a
cutie!)
Births this date
include....
Ok, back to stressing over lack of water and this weather. Becoming more
cranky! Guess I'll take out my frustrations and clean the house. Joy. Can't do
laundry. Still can't shower.
All I know. Nuff said. Yeah yeah yeah, it Saturday. Ciao.
