We have a revolving door here at our house and three bathrooms. Last week one night we had 10 extra people in the house...I'm sure there was a lot of flushing going on! LOL! I also admire your effort!<br /><br />Praying for you this week and can't wait to hear all about the retreat!Jacquelyn Stagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051731884653793193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-50202458035583849312010-06-04T03:16:55.060-04:002010-06-04T03:16:55.060-04:00Rebecca I love Keeping Up Appearances, I laugh thr...Rebecca I love Keeping Up Appearances, I laugh througout it.<br />Sorry your experiment didn't work to your liking but we have all learned from it, you did all the work though.<br />Have a good weekend.........:-)HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-67131537047975330692010-06-03T19:11:23.247-04:002010-06-03T19:11:23.247-04:00It is good you tried and now you know.

It's pages are brown with age. 'What a friend we have in Jesus' is no. 124 of 168 'old time hymns'. <br /><br />♥...WandaWanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-55490976757118669782010-06-03T08:47:16.747-04:002010-06-03T08:47:16.747-04:00We tried doing that once.

That is one thing that really irks me. I know that our water has to be cleaned and filtered and all. I know the logic behind the water and sewer bills. But I somehow have a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that we even have to pay to drink water. I somehow think that is not what God had intended but then there are many things that he had not intended to happen.<br />We sang that hymn in church Saturday night!<br />Love Di ♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-90966437871470373192010-06-03T08:00:05.166-04:002010-06-03T08:00:05.166-04:00Amen, great post sweetie.Amen, great post sweetie.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.com
