Plumbing, finally over!

the above picture is the final result of 15 days and over 9 hours of plumber visits.

this picture is actually clean water running through the drains under the house.

The plumbers had 2 cameras in the pipes to try to find out why they could not un-clog our drains.

Joy, finally the clog was pushed through and water freely went down.

But not before all these things happened




we spent 2 weeks with no washer and no kitchen..

We washed dishes in the bathroom and outside in the yard.

I was lucky to be able to wash our clothes at Katie and Hoss'..

There was a BIG possibility that they were going to have to Jack-hammer up our kitchen floor to try to reach the clog, we prayed, we had all our people praying

and

they were able to finally reach the clog through the laundry area .

Whew, now all we have left is the Plumbing Bill...

we are fearful of that but grateful for our drains draining!
Mike is sure plumbing is of the Devil, he says just think of it

it is under the ground and in the dark...

"oh life!"

Elton and Elsa get married!

Elton and Elsa asked Mike and I to witness their marriage at the Pima County Courthouse last Friday afternoon


It was an honor to Stand with them as they wed.


It was an experience for all 4 of us.


All couples wanting to marry line up down a hallway and are called to the Courtroom to stand before the judge....and there were LOTS of couples that day, some in full wedding attair and some in everyday clothes, some young and some not so young, some with lots of friends and family and some with no witness (the court provides two people for them)..


It was a very fun afternoon, after they were "hitched"


we walked to El Charro and had dinner which we called the "reception"..


So, who knew that went on at our
courthouse every Tuesday and Friday afternoons?


Congratulations, Elton and Elsa


May God Bless you with many years together.

"When my life gets back to normal?"

NORMAL is only a cycle on a washing machine!

I read this little quote and thought, that is such an amazingly TRUE statement.

and to state just how true the statement really is

my washing machine is now broken.

as my friend LA's daughter is famous for saying

"Oh Life"
