Water drip in the Ceiling!

     One week ago I looked up in the bathroom and discovered a small bulge under the paint with a slow drip of water! On Saturday, Dad and Cory's thought that it was the upstairs toilet was dismissed when they removed it and checked the seal. So they cut into the ceiling and discovered a pinhole in the water line! It was fixed easily enough, but then we had a hole in our ceiling which had to dry out and  be repaired. Of course part of that repair will involve painting, and one thing led to another...we have purchased a new vanity, sink, counter, faucet, lighting, and paint! Dad has repaired the hole in the ceiling, he's primed it and  a portion of the wall,  and we'll  paint this week-end and get everything hooked up. I took a "before" picture so I can do a "before and after." I thought you might like to see it.
     A couple of weeks ago I signed up to make 2 dozen cookies for refreshments after our ward's melodrama. I made the cookies tonight, and in the process I did not sample the cookie dough, or any cookies, or even crumbs! This is huge for me. You know how babies just have the urge to put everything in their mouth? I am sort of like that when baking cookies: I have try it to see what it tastes like when it's right out of the oven, I wonder what it tastes like when it has cooled a little? And on and on, sampling to satisfy all my hypothetical questions until I either get too full, or I get sick. I didn't even have the "urge" to do that, and maybe it's because I've exercised each morning. I feel more power to resist.
     Jennie I read the blogs you posted. Wow. I am in awe of anyone who can run farther than 2 blocks! I know I can't. I fizzle out after about a half a block. There must be quite a thrill to be able to run a half marathon, or any race, really. Good job, Jennie!

  1. Water, water, water! Ugh..I remember what our flooded basement was like....I hope you don't have anymore problems. On the flip side, its nice when it forces you to give some TLC to the house. Heaven knows our basement needed it. :) I'd love to see pics.
