WELCOME!

This website is a way for family and friends to see what God's been doing in my life. I"m in India now so it's been difficult to keep in touch with everyone as much as I would like to because of internet problems here. Even though this blog is under my direction, it is managed by my daughter in the U.S. (thank you Melissa) . Hopefully this will eliminate many of the problems we have had in the past.

Plumbing problems

I've had quite a time the last few days. Every time it rains here (which is almost every day lately) the water has been backing up into my bedroom. They had a problem with the plumbing in my bathroom backing up because some rats had gotten into the pipes and dragged laundry and trash in there. So over a period of a week, they dug up the pipes and redid them and then recemented the sidewalk holes so the rats couldn't get in there anymore. That works fine now but the water from the roof doesn't have adequate drainage anymore. Whenever it rains hard now the water backs up at my back door. (My bathroom has two doors and one goes outside.) The water comes through the crack underneath the bathroom door and flows into my bedroom. It gets about an inch deep in some places. On top of that, the power has gone off for hours each day and the water supply has been cut off in the neighborhood. I have water on my floor but no hot water to take a bath with! During this whole ordeal, everyone kept coming and looking at the work being done right outside my bathroom door. I had no privacy that day or the use of my bathroom because the door was always open to the outside. People took turns coming to my room, discussing what was being done, how it was going and what they thought should be done next . It was quite a show for them. I'll be keeping you updated on more soon.
