Breaking News…

I wish I could create the sound you’d hear over the radio in the old black and white movies alerting characters to important news, but caps lock will have to do. WE HAVE INDOOR PLUMBING AGAIN. Last afternoon my new best friend, the septic installer, told me that we have over 2200 gallons of sewer availability (much more once our electrician formally hooks us up). For the first time in a month, I used and flushed a real toilet and washed laundry in our home! Showering is still a work in progress, however. Poor Riley discovered this morning (he stayed with us last night so I could take him to the airport on my way to work) that we don’t have hot water. I don’t even care about the hot water issue right now, because friends I no longer have to use the crappy (pun intended) brown port-a-potty that adorns my front lawn. We are celebrating tonight in the Millam household…we are having ice cream!
