A Quick One

Great-Gramma Robert seems to be back to normal again - all is well. The installers are scheduled to install Aunt Peggy's new furnace today. She will be glad - she's had people in and out for what seems like a long time now. First the gas company who came and dug up her front lawn to run the line into the house. Followed by the tradesman who (with a little assistance from Poppa) removed the old oil tank. Then a gentleman who arrived to clean her ducts - she joked about getting all her ducts in a row - hee! Yesterday another couple of guys who removed the old furnace. Today the new furnace is to be put in. Then the gas supplier will come to add the meter and at that time they can finally fire up the new furnace - whew! Last evening, while I got my hair cut, Poppa and Kev-Inn went to Aunt Peggy's and did a bunch of cleaning in the space where the old furnace sat, and the new one will now preside.

Further to his studies of the seaweed along Lake Erie, Munchkin decided to test the water a little further from shore, and in the interest of doing this well, decided to climb aboard a special watercraft to float out a small distance. He determined that the water was just as tasty as it was along the shoreline and returned to Mummum to report. Needless to say, she was relieved to find him safely ashore again and assured him he had done enough testing for that day. Yesterday he was back home after his working vacation and was re-aquainting himself with Ella and all his old friends at home.
