Every time we fix one thing, something else breaks... sometimes in triplicate
Last weekend we finished painting the trim in our dining room a nice crisp white. It looks very nice.
Then on Monday, the oven wouldn't heat up. I made brownies on Sunday just fine. And on Wednesday, one of the toilets started leaking tons of water from the tank. A bolt on the underside of the tank is so rusted that when you flush the toilet, water gushes out from under it. And the faucet in the master bathtub is leaking. We just replaced the faucet valves in the guest bath at the beginning of March.
Plus the half bath toilet had plugged up last week, for the second time in a month. So we need to get the plumber back out here.
Even through the chaos, there are blessings. The rose bushes outside the living room window are blooming more beautifully every day. And the peach tree has the makings of tons of yummy peaches.
So we stop and smell the roses, and realize that we are thankful to have a home at all...
