domestic tranquility | The pix on the right was done a few years back when we did happen to be going through a drought period (see the entry below about cisterns) | We'd just bought a washer/dryer combination not long after being hooked up to a new municipal sewer line in the village | We'd had a big party, maybe 50 guests (in our 1600 sq ft house) and were doing dishes and the water went dry | As the tale says beneath the picture, the new appliances became an expensive shelving unit for the microwave | The tale, incidentially, can also be found in the 1000 journals entries, under journal # 746 |
We're homebodies, really | Well, I spend lots of time at town meetings and at work on different projects | What I'm getting at is that we are not gadabouts but worker bees | Being active in community affairs seems a reasonable and logical thing to do | Helps with terminal boredom, too, especially when you live in a sparsely populated area [it's getting less so, but that's another story] Unlike my old boss (and long distance friend) Renee, I don't have to turn on the heat when it's 70 ° F out [20 ° C] but the temps here are still cool enough to keep the woodstove going [9 ° C/42 ° F] | And were often to bed before too late (my blog posting times notwithstanding) |
Anyway, that's my world | I welcome hearing about yours | ¶ 23:01
