Hello Vicki,
I'm so sorry you have had such a rough couple of days. I hope and pray for
your sake they fix the water name very soon and that things can get back to
normal. Take care.

In order to get the tar out of my shoes, Duane takes nail polish remover and
a paper clip, and scrapes it out of the grooves in my shoes, and then removes
it with a Kleenex from the paper clip. It’s a tedious process, but that’s
the only way it will come off. Yucky! Thank God for my sighted husband. I
probably wouldn’t be able to do it without making a bigger mess. As it was
today, I waited till I came in to check my shoes, something out of the
ordinary. I usually check them outside. Surprised I found some on my right
foot, I took a Kleenex and brushed all the tar soaked rocks into the waste
basket, and tried to clean it up before telling Duane. He was playing a new
computer game with our son in Tucson, so I didn’t want to interrupt. So, I
put the shoe on the sink counter, which is right by the door, and proceeded
to clean my hands. I can’t put nail polish remover directly on my hands over
the sink, since once I accidentally spilled the remover in the sink and it’s
left its mark forever in my sink. So, I used Pine sall on my hands. It
seemed to do the trick, but I guess I left some on my thumb nail. Duane took
it off when he did my shoe a little while later.

Well, the water finally came back on, about 3:40 PM. I cleaned the counters
and table and stove, and rinsed my morning dishes. Then I cleaned the
toilet. If I told you why, it would be too much information and gross. So,
then I went out and dumped the toilet tank, since today is the normal day I
do that. But somehow on the way back in, I got my right shoe full of tar.
Everything was a mess outside, tree branches down from the tree behind us,
and everything covered with dust. Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, last night
when the power was off, we opened the roof vent hoping to get some cross
breeze by opening the door. So, my counter was covered with dust to clean
when the water came back on. I sure hope this next round of storms they say
are coming tonight, won’t have the same result as last night’s storms that
never really reached us. We are so blessed however, just before the outage, I
saw online that a storm was headed our way capable of producing 70 mph winds.
We would not have survived such a high gust. So, I prayed. God listened,
but we still lost power. Could have been much worse. Thank you Jesus!

Oh, Vickie, you poor soul! Not only are you dealing with unbearable heat but
also with having no fresh water!! Ee gads, I remember living in Ohio and
that happening to me in the first mobile home park I was in with my husband
in his old home. Buckeye Lake was a very small town, and often the water had
rust in it.

You are soooooo right! It’s now almost 2 PM and the water still isn’t fixed.
At around 11, I called the store/manager’s office, and they said it would be
fixed in an hour. Grrrrr! I haven’t brushed my teeth in two days and
haven’t washed my face yet today. I don’t want to use up all of our fresh
water supply which was filled back when we lived in Texas. So, that means,
it’s not exactly clean. Luckily, when they did fix the water yesterday, I
did take a shower. But, the power being off and sweating for 5 hours, kind of
ruined the shower, if you know what I mean. I’m certainly better having
taken one, buts still, I was hoping it would last for more than a few hours.

Well, itâs been a pretty miserable couple of days. Not only is the heat an
issue, but here in our RV park, apparently Thursday night, just after 9
oâclock, the well had some kind of problem. The management here has never
given us as renters, any after hours emergency phone number to call. There
is a store, gas station, on the property, which, didnât have water either,
but no one knew of the problem until 5 oâclock in the morning, or later. It
didnât get fixed until Friday afternoon. Then last night, we had bad
storms east of us, and we got some wind, but very little sprinkles at all.
Anyway, we lost power. Again, it was just after 9 at night, so the store was
closed. Thatâs where the managers are during the daytime hours. So, I had
to call the power company and sit on the phone for almost an hour, to report
the outage. Strangely enough, the bar, which is also on the property had
power, but we didnât know that until around 1 AM, so no sense in going
there. Every time we opened our door for some outside air, exhaust would come
in, due to the next door neighbor sitting in his truck to have air
conditioning. Finally, about 1:40 this morning, the power came back on. So,
then we awoke to having no water again. Supposedly thereâs a broken water
main in the park, and as of now, 12:30 PM, its still not fixed. Weâre so
upset. Weâve used up almost all of our fresh water tank going to the
bathroom. Canât even wash my face. Dirty dishes are lying in the sink,
which never happens in my house, and grrrrrrr! So venting to my friends may
help me feel better. Sorry for the rant.
Vickie
May God bless you now, and evermore!
