I lost my perspective Monday afternoon when the well guy wouldn't return my calls
and I kept absent-mindedly turning on the faucet thinking water would come out.
I had a little meltdown, thinking I'd never have water again because
not a single well company in the yellow pages would answer their phone.
And when all else fails, I need only to hang out with my herd to be reminded of what matters most...
...having friends, family, neighbors, and blog readers to lean on when I need a little support.
Thanks, everybody!
Whew ... sounds like quite an adventure, and who'd a thought it would be so much trouble getting a well guy to come out!?!?! Glad it's working out and by tonight you should be able to relax in a nice bubble bath or hot shower!
ReplyDeleteWhat cracking good photos!!
ReplyDeleteHope, you will have support with the well problem soon!
We love ya, Carson.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and I both spent some time laying down in our pastures/corrals yesterday. :D
GREAT pictures. Keep your chin up.
Off the subject - Have you ever been back to the Bordo Atrevasado? "All the Pretty Horses" is one of my all time favorites.
ReplyDeleteawwww, I can feel the love of those burros thru my intact computer wires....those darn freeloading mice,grrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand companies these days. Had the same thing happen when we wanted to have our driveway paved. People would not answer their phones to give us a quote. I finally just started leaving messages saying that I had called three times and I guess they just didn't want our business nor our word of mouth recommendations to our neighbors...
ReplyDeleteWHooooaaaa, did that get them calling me back!

After 4 days with no hot water and little water pressure, I feel your pain. All is well now and will be for you too. LOVE the furbaby pix!
ReplyDeleteLiving in the country, I too know how alone and vulnerable you feel when such things happen. Hope something comes out of those faucets soon!
ReplyDeleteSee? Help is on the way! Phew!
ReplyDeleteI was worried there for a while that you were going to have to dig for water. Glad they are coming out today. Whew.

EVERYONE should have a George and an Allen to pull them out of the funk :) Thanks for the daily comic strips :) Jeanne in SC
ReplyDeleteI've found that it almost always pays to complain about a bad situation -- you never know when one of your listeners has a handy solution!
ReplyDelete:-)
Businesses don't operate the same way they used to. Customer service was once upon a time the most important aspect - not now, never again. That last picture of George would have brought me out of any funk I might be in also.. Glad you've found a company that at least answers the phone!
ReplyDeleteScrumptious photos!
ReplyDeleteNot answering the phone must be something they teach at "Well college". Most of the companies around here can't afford or don't want to hire someone to answer phones. Good luck today on getting water.
That last photo looks like it could be a motivational poster for emotional support!
ReplyDeleteYour burro boys are lovely, I really enjoy tuning in every day to see what ya'all are up to.
Lots of support going on in those photos.... mostly Alan, supporting George.... and setting a good example for us, burro style!
ReplyDeleteYay Justina! And Yay for getting the well fixed!
ReplyDeleteWe all get by with a little help from our friends.
Wonder-full post! and good luck with your well....
ReplyDeleteI think I see some sort of water storage tank in your future. : ) So glad you will have water soon!

Love the last photo of George! That is priceless! Hope you get water soon.
ReplyDeleteUh oh...no water would mean no coffee. Now that is scary! Glad Justina and Norma came to your rescue!
ReplyDeleteOMG, George! That is a priceless shot in the last photo. My gawd, you can look goofy. In a good way, of course.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your water problems will soon be over. All kidding aside, that's a scary situation to be in.
I hope they get your water back today. Like I said before, I live on a well system too so I know what it's like to turn the faucet and have nothing come out.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your shower
ReplyDeleteHang in there Linda and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteHaving to haul water... I know how you're feeling. Suddenly, turning on the faucet and actually having water come out of it, feels like TOTAL luxury!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, they are priceless :D

Being without water is no fun! Believe me, we know! I went through the same thing trying to get a well guy out. Great photos. You have a real eye for perspective.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and herd have running water by now. Through thick or thin, your family is always there to lean on you or each other.
ReplyDeleteYour last picture is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe just turned water on in our bathroom at the project house. It is truly a miracle to see water come out of the faucet! Some day it will be even more miraculous when the water is warm!!
Good luck with the well guy... hope it is just the wires and a simple fix!
Hope you are all out playing in the sprinklers tonight in celebration. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved loved loved the last shot.
Sorry you're having well problems, and hope you can resolve them soon. but HOLY SMOKES, I LOVE these photos!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. I hope you have water by the time you've read this.
ReplyDeleteHope you got what you needed today - there are so many things we can do without. Water isn't one of them.
ReplyDeleteYou and your herd are in my prayers. Thanks for keeping your chins up! Well, I can't really say that for George. He looks pitiful (sp?) :) And Alan must be saying "You ain't heavy, you're my brother"!
ReplyDeleteI was sympathetic as I read about your water plight, but I was distracted by the fabulous shots of your animals. The ones with one draping its face over the back of the other one made me want to get my car and drive to your ranch.
ReplyDeleteHey Carson...! Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteI love that last shot Linda! Priceless~
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say, "Water is overrated." But no, it will come soon I hope!
