In Honor of Pioneer Day

Steve and I played pioneers for a week. For most of the week, we couldn't drain or flush any water down our septic line. For the last day of that week, the water was turned off. We had no running water. So we hauled our laundry and dirty dishes to the neighbors in baskets so we could have clean clothes to wear and clean dishes to eat off of. (Mind you, we only did this once. We can live without doing laundry for a week.) I felt like a pioneer using an outhouse when I ran over to Matt and Jenny's at two o'clock in the morning to use their facilities. Of course, there bathroom is NOT like an outhouse, but the distance to my bed to their toilet is. I was ready to stop playing pioneer when I saw my brand new septic tank in my back yard. Who would have ever guessed that this sight would make me so giddy!?! I also came home to a fixed sink and shampooed carpet. I was definately done playing pioneer. I love running water and a working septic tank.
