It’s been colder here lately. This week, anyway. Last week we had temperatures in the 80s!
The county is putting in water for us, and they’ve made quite a mess of the street. The upside is that we’ll have better water pressure and fire hydrants! I think it was as much as 8 years ago that they started making plans to do this. I’m relieved that it’s finally happening. We won’t have to carry water up from the creek anymore. No, we don’t do that! We have wells. The pumps are powered by electricity, even.
This site has some info about where I live.

I got some sad news today. My e-mail friend and frequent commenter on this blog, Judith Meuli (Jude), passed away yesterday. Like me she had IgA MM, although hers was kappa light chain. We shared stories about living with MM and other things. She had let me know that her doctor had told her this would be her last year. I plan on making a donation to the IMF and the IMBCR in her memory. Jude was mom’s age.
