    Gilbert finished installing the hot water heater yesterday.  He turned it on long enough to make sure it was working, then he switched back to the cook range.  The cook range will continue to heat our water and send hot water through the radiators in the get to gather room.  When the weather gets warm we'll switch to the new hot water tank and I'll learn to cook on an electric range.  Noe there is a board on the top of the electric range, it is used as more counter space.  The knobs are in a drawer.

    The dryer had its annual cleaning why it was pulled out.  There was very little lint in the dryer or hose.  The washer and dryer had to be pulled out to run the water pipes.  My dryer is vented inside  through a store bought lint filter.  Gilbert made his filter and says it does a much better job of catching all the lint.  When he has time he will make me one.  Looking at the washing machine faucets and hoses he decided it would be wise to replace them why they were apart.  They should be good for another 30 years.

     The Griffin rep will be here at ten thirty this morning to help Bekah with her April supply order. There are no prices listed in the catalog!   It doesn't look like there will be any problem with snow banks being gone for early April! delivery   I'll be cleaning the laundry and putting it back to rights.  It is so warm I only ran the pellet stove for an hour this morning.

      May God bless you on this day, Sally
