Do you know what your doing?.... Sir, 911 doesn't do plumbing

This is a short post ....

  • Mike started chemo and is doing well at this posting. He is talking and laughing with Doug and Dena in the living room as I type.
  • Mike continues to eat. He has had some issues with meat and fresh tomatoes, but is able to eat and keep food down. Thank you Jesus
  • Mike gained 3 pounds and is back to 141 lbs.
  • We spent a great weekend at McKinney's Dickens of A Christmas downtown, wandered the square, saw a play of the Christmas Carol, and were blessed by FBC McKinney's Sunday service.
  • We all ate at Churchhill's English Pub after church... Mike, Elizabeth, Doug, Dena and I. What a blessing to sit and eat together again.
  • Closed on our house yesterday after Chemo
  • Moved somethings over today
  • Call 911 when the cold water valve for the washer failed in the open position
  • Met the neighbors as we are borrowing a hose and wet vac
  • Announced our arrival on the street with help of the McKinney Fire Department coming to help
  • Am still waiting on the home warranty people to find a plumber to fix it
  • Know how to shut off the water to the house
  • Got the DISH Network guy wetter inside the house that outside the house in the rain setting up the Dish.
  • Have spent tons of time laughing tonight - full details to come later when I have time to post the whole episode... (Sherry, it ranks right up there with Dena locking herself in the truck of her car!)

YAY!!! Mike is eating and gaining weight, you have a house, and you have RUNNING water!

Ok, so maybe the water has been running a bit TOO much, but you don't have to haul your duds to the creek and beat them on a rock, so that still counts as a YAY!

Thanking God with you!

Deanna, am anxiously waiting the whole story....not much could top the Dena locking herself in the trunk episode. So good to hear your voice the other day. What a blessing you are in my life. Love you and will be praying for a smooth transition into your new home....maybe I should have already been praying for that...nothing like a baptism for the house....
Love you guys Sherry

I gave a praise report at church on Sunday, on Mike getting to eat some Thanksgiving dinner. We'll keep praising our Lord that he is eating!
So glad to hear laughs in your new home...may you have many, many more! (Hopefully dry ones, though!) :) Hugs, Roxanne
