Clara's Corner: Leak Fixed....PTL

Leak Fixed....PTL

The plumber just left and it is fixed. He had to tear a board off the wall and saw some of the old pipes out because they had rusted out and had several small holes and one about the size of a half dollar. I've been working pretty hard moving everything so he could get to the wall. (It was in the basement) But the good thing about this my son took most of the things to his storage building. It seems so good! It took the plumber about one hour to complete the job, but I have to clean up the mess. I figured it would be one hundred and fifty dollars, but it was only one hundred and five dollars....I hope I never have any more leaks, but that won't happen. I'm thankful I have none at the moment. Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day. March came in like a lamb, so you know what that means!!!!!

My husband never left a mess when he finished a job...but I know you're glad to have it done even if you did have to clean up the mess.; 4:26 PM

Here on the coast of North Carolina March came in like a lion today, very windy and quite cool. We had some warm days last week, but now tonight the weatherman is predicting a freeze & frost. Cannot wait until spring!

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
