A Thankful Throwback Thursday

Im having some problems here. Experimenting. I'm trying to get back in the groove with blogging, but BLOGSPOT won't let me upload pics today. Apparently I'm not the only one having this problem!!! Anybody else out there? And anybody with a solution?

It's been a busy day with dentist, doctor, vet appointments and a visit from the plumber! Ta-da! Another problem resolved today. I noticed the upstairs hall bathtub faucet was cracked and loose. We are having company this week-end and several people will be using the shower in there. My fear was that the handle would break off completely rendering the shower useless or, worse, somebody would get hit with hot water straight out. (That did happen to me once long ago! It is a memory I won't ever forget and I bet my brother hasn't either since I screamed bringing the house down and him opening the door to see me naked in the shower with water shooting out of the faucet!)

The job today was so very simple and I had already purchased the parts needed from Home Depot, so those guys were in here and out in about two shakes of a lamb's tail!! They told me the normal service call was $150, but because the job was so simple, they checked with the office to see if they might do it for no charge! Thank You, God, for helping me with the day-to-day problems that arise! Since I couldn't let them go without paying, I gave them money for lunch! Fair deal!

The last year has been filled with what seem to be endless repairs and replacements. How thankful I am that we have been able to get them taken care of and had the resources to do them. 

Sooooo, I had a pic to upload of my brother and his buddies playing at the end of our street back around 1964, I'm guessing. We lived at the end of a dead end street across from a city park and rec center. There was a deep creek that ran alongside our house and we spent loads of fun times there. The banks were steep and a slick shale and I remember sliding down the hill on summer days and when the water was deep enough, skipping rocks.

Okay, late in the day, I finally think I have it resolved.
