Besides the rain, Washington is known for its wind storms. At this moment, it is quite windy outside. The wind storm happens around late October and early November. The neighbors say that last year the wind storm caused all of the power to go out for about one week, especially where we live here in Maple Valley. We live not too far from Mount Rainier and the wind funnel goes right through our neighborhood. So needless to say, mama had papa go to Costco a couple of weeks ago and purchase a generator. As did every other family in the neighborhood. Grandma says that if her power goes out, they're coming over. Our neighbor/friend Andy will install it for us sometime this week.
As I'm writing, I just remembered that we need to get our fireplace fixed. About a week ago, I could smell gas around the fireplace. The gas company was called and they came out right away. Sure enough there is a leak. Therefore of course our gas to the fireplace was turned off. If anything, papa has learned to listen to mama's nose. The same thing happened at our other home in California. That time papa DID NOT listen to what mama had to say until she threatened him to have the gas company come out. This was on a Saturday when papa was home. Sure enough, there was a gas leak in the wall behind the dryer!!!
