Remember the old tv show, Name that Tune? Two contestants would guess the number of bars that would play before they could guess the tune. Well, today, was Name that Number...of bowls that it takes to "take a shower and wash your hair!" The bowl measure is a 12 ounce plastic bowl, you know the medium size cool whip plastic bowl?
Thursday afternoon we had no water, but no problema - it will come back on in the evening. And that it did. But since we are morning shower people we brushed our teeth and went to bed. Alas, Friday morning - no water. We had enough to brush our teeth and flush the toilet...once. But it was a paseo day, not important to look our best and surely it'll be on when we return and we'll take a shower then. It is not on when we return, but Daisey has enough for us to brush our teeth and flush the toilet. Ok, no problema. Good night. Good morning, Saturday! No water...problema, by now, we stinketh. Finally, it comes on not a whole lot but enough for Daisey to fill every large pot, boiler, and anything large she has. About midday, she tells me she had enough water to take a shower and wash her hair - not much pressure and not much hot water but enough to shower. GREAT! I get my stuff, get in the shower - NADA - NO WATER! But wait, no problem, Daisey has saved pots of water for the day. So now, how many bowls of water does it take to take a shower and wash your hair? Three, only three. I'm being conservative for David to shower and for us to have more water throughout the day. Amazing that so little water can cleanse a body and wash hair! So clean!
Well, now David's turn. He even boiled some water with the little coffee cup water heater he has. (Thanks Bill Hughes, it arrived!) As he gets his hair all lathered, he thought he'd check just to see if by chance the water had returned. It has so he finishes with much water and even hot water, at times. So at least for this time, we don't know how many bowls of water it takes him to shower and wash his hair. No problema...we're both clean and smell good too!
So how many bowls of water would it take you?!

It should take David less bowls than Glynis, less hair.
Found your blog spot.
Christie got a job in Metter.
Dwain had a major stroke a few months back. He has no vision on the left side. He believes that he will get it back.
We will keep in touch.

Your reminded me of a water story. Many years ago when we were in the Dominican Republic on a mission trip, the government would randomly shut off the electicity for the evening which would shut off the water pump. an experience to remember when someone was in the shower at the time with shampoo lathered up!
Praying for you with love.
