So for those of you who missed the story: We were in the midst of a hard-sales-presentation to redo our bathroom for $17k, reduced down to $13k for today only, and we got a knock on the door. Yes, the broken bathtub is another story for another day.
The little Asian man (who Daisy seems to want to eat for lunch, she barks like crazy on his walks around our block) came by. He said "phone no work, please help." Two and half hours later, a call to our bishop and the missionaries to find someone who could translate Korean, which was successful. Tony was our hero in troubleshooting, and it was nice to do a good deed. They came by after it was fixed with a box of apples that are almost as big as my head! Straight to the VO cookbook and Marja's fabulous apple cobbler. Yum! Wish we could have shared it with everyone!

Rain, rain go away... or maybe not...

We have been in Stage 3 water conservation since last summer. From this picture you would think that maybe we could move back to Stage 2? Anyway, our playground now doubles as a pond. Sigh.
