We are under freeze warning tonight. It is actually about time. Usually happens in October here in Virginia. Thanks be to God and my Hartford Angels, my heat is back on after being off for who knows how long. It was working when I left but the other day when my brother-in-law went to turn it up to paint, it wasn't working. I didn't shut anything off so I guess it will always be a mystery. I did experience flooding of one of my small basements though. the one with the hotwater heater and cold water pressure tank was flooded and my number one angel dug ditches in the yard to divert the rain water. The pump wasn't working and it turned out the water had gone over the top of the casing and shorted out the wires to the pump. I felt totally helpless and questioned why was I here when I felt I should have been up there. I am still not sure. My friends from Tampa have asked me to stay with them while they endure the challenge of cancer. I plan to go there in November but don't really know how long I will stay. I have found a place for my coach in NC. I may just drive back there, leave it and head for my little house in New York. I know I won't like the cold weather but the house is cozy. What an about face? Who would ever dream I would be talking about going north in the winter. More to follow on that.
I hope to go to Lake San Marino to visit with my sister and bro-in-law over Christmas. I will miss my many friends who winter there. But the good news is, if I decide to go in 2009, my place will be saved. Since buying the house, I have had many expenses that have drained the coffers. I plan to look for seasonal part time work in the Tampa area while I am there. There are many options open to me thanks to my good health and ability to travel.
I discovered that my coolant level in the MH was down each day I checked it. I felt I should have it checked by a Cummins garage. That was done and rather than a loose hose connection which I was hoping for, it is the more serious leaky head gasket which requires several days of repair, lots of money and Bash and I moving out. I have a warranty which I purchased. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will cover the job. So I am here in Virginia until after the repair, maybe the 9th or 10th of Nov. I plan to spend Thanksgiving with my dear friend, Judi in NC before going on to Tampa.
Photo is truly a "dance with stars".
Actually, this is nice since it is giving me more time to spend with my VA friends and family. So that is the latest in the continuing saga of the Donna Dog and Pony Show. When the Universe rains down on me from all quarters as it is right now, I continue to ask "Why??" No answers are coming yet but I guess time will tell as it always does. Time doesn't keep secrets forever.
May you be blessed with happiness, love, health and unbounded joy -
