Well ! Guess what! We have been so blessed ! Someone has offered for us to fill our water jugs up at their place for free! We have been paying to fill up those 1 gallon jugs from the store and this necessitated a trip into town daily. And invariably the jugs get smashed somehow and then you need to buy new ones , thus adding to the cost. This gets old quick.
When this friend found out he offered to let us fill up at his place, right down the road.! We will be getting 5 gallon jugs and filling these up instead. The first thought I had was "Bathtime!" Remember when I described bathtime here ? This will be so much better!
I have an oldfashioned cast iron bathtub that we will fill with water and heat a fire under it, which will keep the water hot for about an hour.. The tub is outside so we will build a privacy tent around it. I'll put a pic up when it gets done :) (hubby doesn't allow much in the way of pics on this blog but I think this will be ok.)
So things are looking up on the homestead! We will be drilling a well whenever we have the money but that will be awhile- probably over a year!- but this gift from God and John will make the wait a whole lot better!
