On Wednesday afternoon I heard a huge loud noise coming from somewhere in our house. I was slightly freaked out (okay I freaked out a lot.) Did a check of our house and found nothing amiss, so I just mentioned it to my husband when he got home. The problem became apparent when my Father in Law came over to get something from my side of the garage, but he was able to fix it with out much of a problem. I am thanking my lucky stars it did not break earlier in the day our I would not have been able to get my car out of the garage and I would have missed a meeting.
Then yesterday I ran down to the basement to do a load of laundry. I noticed the floor was wet and when I looked back I saw a trail of my wet foot prints in the carpet. YIKES!!! I quick moved everything to the other side of the basement and then called my Father in Law. The diagnosis? Our 21 year old water heater is kaput... Another one was bought and will be installed today, but until then, no hot water. Meaning cold showers....
I told my husband this morning that cold showers are supposed to rev your metabolism. He just grumbled at me.
As for me, I am not hopping into a cold anything, or my toes will turn purple (darn you Reynouds Syndrome!) I will take a proper shower later when the new heater is installed.
Boy I could use a glass of lemonade right about now. Or another slice of this Frozen Lemonade Pie, from Foodnetwork.com. I made this recipe for the Fourth of July, and it was delicious and refreshing. I did make a small change and used a store bought graham cracker crust. It made a ton of filling , so I put what I couldn't fit in the pie crust into a glass bowl and froze that too. The pie was a hit, and we just finished the extra filling last night, with some crumbled graham cracker on top. Yum!!!
