Wendy, Melita and Ruth at Obo's
Ruth and Big Piney Librarian DebbieCan't believe I slept for almost 14 hours, with maybe 3 awake times in the middle of the night. When Joe woke me up to say he was going for coffee at 8:45 I looked at the clock and realized I was supposed to meet Melita and Wanda at the library at 9 a.m. to go to Big Piney and take down the Mixed Media show. Joe said he'd stay home to be here for the repairmen who were coming this morning, and also the washer was being delivered this morning. I thought about staying home, but decided I'd let Joe take care of it all this time. I've been doing almost everything since we started down this road.
So I started getting dressed really fast, but then the furnace repairmen got here. Then one of the faucets in my bathroom wouldn't work. Had to show that to Joe. Then I remembered to show him the place where the rug was wet in my bedroom. Together we figured out that condensation was dripping down out of the furnace duct in the ceiling. Then I realized that the repair men's truck was in the driveway right behind my car. Joe said he would move it but he only went half a car length and said I could get around. I had to insist that he move it back far enough for me to get out. It was 9:20 when I got to the library. Put all Kay's boxes from my car into Melita's and we were off.
It was hard to believe how quickly we got to Big Piney compared to the amount of time it always took from the ranch. We were down there in no time. Charm and Ruth soon arrived too and we had the show down and packed up lickety split. It wasn't even eleven but we decided to go to lunch anyway. Charm was heading down to Evanston to stay with some friends for a couple of days so she hit the road. The other four of us went to the new Obo's which is a quite magnificent quick stop gas station, brand new. It has a huge deli, store and fresh meat. We picked what we wanted from the deli - so much to choose from it was hard to decide. Then we started on home, stopping at Kay's to leave off her artwork, Devan's, and Sandy's. She didn't go this morning because they were working cattle and she was feeding the crew just as we got there.
Melita took us back to our cars and we unloaded our artwork. Then I went out to get my pastel snow scene framed and picked up another painting Ruth had framed. I will photograph it and show you later. After that I stopped at Rocky Mountain Home Center and finally ordered the window shades. The are double cell pleated shades. They said the shades might be ready and could be hung before Christmas, so that will be nice. Also went to the post office to get our mail.
When I got home the furnace and vent pipe were all fixed and working fine now. Gene said that there's a lot of ice and condensation up in the attic, and it probably wasn't going to go away until next spring. Also the exchange washer has been delivered. I am washing a load of laundry tonight. This washer is much noisier than the one that broke. And one reason I liked the first one was how quiet it was. But maybe that was a symptom of it's demise, I don't know. I just hope nothing's wrong with this one.
Been trying to blog yesterday and today all afternoon, and just now getting around to it. I fixed leftovers for dinner, and baked a couple of apple pies. James called from GA and said he had been talking to quite a few people about our furnace and the builder over the weekend. He had a lot of information to share. And said that I should just present the photos, bill, explanation of the situation to the builder. But we're going to wait a few weeks until James gets back to Pinedale.
So another long day. I'm not feeling so tired though after all that sleep last night. Maybe I SHOULD go to bed earlier on a regular basis.
