Busy

the last couple of days, started taking empty boxes and Christmas decorations to the basement.  Set up my lovely wrought iron quilt wrack.  It's in the sun room but may move it to the living room out of the sun. 

I sat in the sewing room for a while today to contrive a good organization plan and that's as far as that went today.  I have way too much laundry and other house blessings to do before I can work in there.

Mike came over and helped George disconnect the sun room furnace, it died.  We're not going to replace it, we bought one of those little electric heaters for the sun room and it seems to be working OK but we really haven't had  any really cold weather yet.  We'll see. They had to call the Gas Co. to come out and get a turn off valve loosened up so it could be shut off while they sealed off the gas line.  That was an experience, the gal who answered the telephone told us it would cost us $140 for a service call.  That stinks, George told her it was the Gas Co's. responsibility as it was the turn off before the meter.  That was totally inconceivable to her and she wouldn't let him talk to anyone else.  Finally he told her, "for all we know it could be leaking" that got her to get us help.  There was a service person here withing 15 min.  and she said there would be "no charge".
