Well Update

The wettest, coldest, yuckiest day of spring so far was spent with Tom and a kind neighbor with a bobcat building a mud mountain in our backyard. After uncovering the entire pipe, no leak was found, so the leak must be in the pipe in the well itself. A well-driller who didn't seem too interested in our business came out to work up an estimate for a new well. Then Tom called another guy that he knew from high school who thinks he can put a new pump in the existing well without having to drill a new one. He says there are no promises. We decided to give it a try. He will put in the new pump when he gets the parts he needs--either Monday or Wednesday. In the meantime we are leaving our water pump off as much as possible, limiting water use in our house. So here I go-- into my hot tub to went down my morning "bedhead" before I go off to church for Praise Team practice. I'm thankful to Emily and Bob who are letting me fix the Mother's Day-Grandpa's Birthday Dinner at their house tomorrow.

"Jesus Met the Woman at the Well"-great song...hope all gets better. I think I could live without electricity fairly easily, but no water? that's tough. you'll figure it out...

Come move in with us for awhile. We've got all kinds of beds and more water than we can use.

Sounds like fun! But, our other kind neighbor, Eddie, connected a hose from his house to our water system, so we are okay for basic necessities. Hopefully, by Wednesday we'll be all fixed up!
