Warmer by a lot!

It has been beautiful here the last few days. 80's and sunny, and making everyone have spring fever. It is raining tonight and we are supposed to get back into the forties, but I'm not complaining. I hear it's downright frigid in Iowa, so we'll take this without fussing.

They are coming tomorrow to hook up our fireplace and we hope to be able to to use it a few times before it gets too warm. The price went down $200 from last September, so waiting was a good choice. I'm sure glad we weren't filling a fuel tank for heat this winter. The prices would have been terrible!

Everyone seems to be on the tail end of this virus that we've had. It was a fierce one, with very congested noses and chests. It has tapered down from deep, wet coughs with severely running noses to dry, hacking ones, but no one has been up in the night coughing except me now. Last night I slept through--we'll see if it holds.

Better be off to bed, it's 12:21 already. Daylight savings time sure messes me up!

Edited to add: I won't be able to post pictures for a while. The camera is toast. Shutter quit working and we need to research what we want. This time I'm going to have to learn how a new one works; this second model (of the one I lost) had the same issues. Best to be moving on....

We're getting warm

Sarah was sick last night, but woke up feeling better, and I was so grateful for that. She took a bath and just as she was getting finished, the power went out. At 11 am I called and they said it woudl be on in 45 minutes. It was only 63* at 1 pm, so we gave up and left the house to get lunch somewhere warm. We ate at McDonald's then cruised Wal mart for a couple of hours hoping it would be back on when we got home. It was!! We are finally getting warm again. I can't figure out why the power company only seems to have outages when it's under 32* here. Call Iowa and take notes people! Iowejuns seem to have it all under control when it comes to electricity in the winter. Thank heavens it's supposed to be 70* by Friday :~)
