♫ Baby, it’s cold outside…♫

ForMomv2

Jarin made the graphic for me, using a picture she took when we got the snow in Mobile back in February.

Well, Cori has learned how to layer clothing this last week…ha. She is wearing two or three shirts under a sweatshirt to school, plus tights or leggings some days under her jeans.

We all have NC license plates for our vehicles now. Should it really take a week to fax something? I won’t say what company (f0rd) took so long…mine took longer, but it was sent through the mail. Oh well, it is done now…finally…

Then Wednesday evening, I went to put a small load of Cori’s things in the dryer and it wouldn’t turn on….what?! We just bought it when we lived in Washington state. Thursday I searched the internet and it looked like it was just the door switch. We had already had the bulb go out…or so we thought. Well I searched and found the part, watched a video how to change it. Went and got the part, changed it out, and Voila! it worked! So thankful it was something simple. Proud I was able to fix it myself….and the bulb still worked too. Yeah, I could have waited for Hubby to fix it, but there would have probably been more swear words said in the process…ha. The worst part was trying to get the connectors separated.

Have a great weekend,

Sheila

  1. WELL ATTA-GIRL SHEILA!!!!!!!
    What a great entry. That is very good to be able to trouble shoot, buy the part, replace it and it WORKS!!!

    But isn't it frustrating when something doesn't work that always has!!!

    The layering of course is a great idea, I have been Layered while working out in the woods. I would say this is a terrible welcome to NC winters, but this is the worst since 1937. I hear from Florida and they aren't much better off.

    Oh well a great entry. and again Congratulations!!!

    Love from down the road.

    Love the entry picture.

Hi, glad you were able to fix your dryer you probably saved about $99.00 that was what they charged me to put a pump on my washer which that was the cost of the pump to.lol.I worked all day yesterday raking leaves and pine straw had to finish picking it up this morning. It has been cold here to. Take care, love you, mom

  3. What a beautiful picture. You are very resourceful. I don't know that I could have done that. I would have had to call the repairman to fix the dryer. Stay warm and have a wonderful holiday.
