When I got home from bible class this morning around eleven , my half-cooked Sunday dinner sat suspiciously tepid on the stove .. Carolyn informed me the electricity had been off for a few minutes…
Well, about two o’clock I was beginning to lose weight .. Partially from the lack of dinner , and secondly from profuse sweating from no air/conditioning..when miraculously the power came back on … just long enough to tease us into a false sense of security ,then off again …
Ed’s water supply booster pumps lay idle til the pressure dropped below state-approved levels and refused to re-engage even when the power came back on about three … A quick call to the purveyor revealed he is in Shreveport , wasting away my $175.00 water bill , but could possibly be back home by eight… so I had to play water-well repairman … walking through step by step instruction via cell-phone from Ed..
It’s now a quarter til four… Carolyn’s got the ceiling fan blowing lamps and candelabra’s off the tables , air/ conditioner throwing ice cubes , the yard sprinkler is running full tilt , things are back to normal …just in time to salvage my afternoon nap..
I suppose my Sunday sacrifice pales when compared to that of Dale Romine and Slade and the boys from wise-electric .. stomping through sweltering heat to repair service for those more fortunate and less independant …
Thanks boys… my belly is full and I’m starting to take a chill , nice visiting with ya ! It’s time for my nap …
