wanted to sleep in but we had to get up because the plumbers were to come and check the septic system.
they arrived around 9:30. didn't seem to have any idea what to do. finally talked to the home office and got some guidance.
turned out the distribution box was choked with roots, possibly grass roots. when they cleared the roots the water flowed very well.
lots of laundry on saturday. elizabeth mailed the forms to equitrust. she spent the afternoon out at warrenton and gainesville, etc.
we went to el agave for dinner.

i really need to keep up on this crazy blog. my computer at home takes so long to boot up that i rarely update from there anymore. driving me nuts.
found out this morning that jerry's dad passed away. jerry sent a very nice note to the whole group. found myself crying as i read it. just had to sit for a few minutes after reading the note. felt bad for jerry. felt bad for me. less than six weeks since mommy passed away.
