Is There a Plumber in the House?

Some days the events aren't worth reporting, just stay in bed and let the day pass. But when you have water on the floor and it didn't come from a spill, one can't stay in bed.

This was the culprit, and had to be removed. I'm sure you know how teeny tiny RV bathrooms are. It isn't the largest room to work in and of course the bolts are positioned so you need to be a contortionist just to reach them. Now my internet search told me this was a half hour job, it took me a half day just to get the toilet out, then I had to repair it and reinstall it. By four o'clock I was looking for an excuse to stop and give my body a rest, but one needs a toilet at least once a day so stopping until finished wasn't an option.  No more details except to say, the toilet is back in, it functions, it doesn't leak, ..... but it does wiggle.

Now our neighbour, Tony, had another problem, how to inaugurate his new stove.  Best solution we could come up with was a pizza party for the gang. It was a fabulous idea. Tony and Phil provided the dough and toppings and we all ate and enjoyed way too much. Delicious any time, double delicious in the desert with friends, outside in the middle of winter.

Five o'clock in the desert, and the sun is slowly dropping behind the distant hills.  Now we still have pizza so if you missed the party come on over today and taste the best home-made pizza in Quartzsite.

A meal isn't complete without dessert and last night we had a farmer's dessert. When I was a kid and visited my uncle's farm, my aunt always served icecream, pie, cake then cookies for dessert; we called it a farmer's dessert. Well last night my aunt would have been proud, we had home-made cinnamon buns, best just hot out of the oven, home-made cinnamon and raison bread and home-made pumpkin and ginger cookies. Are you smacking your lips just thinking of a bite? Come on down and enjoy the food.

Living well in the desert.

Thanks for dropping by.
