The Kids Write Home

from Stephanie, December 4:


Dad--

So my comment has nothing to do with the blog but I just thought I'd give you an update on us up here. It's freezing!!! Our heater stopped working yesterday afternoon when Ethan and I were home and I couldn't figure out why. When Tom came home from work he tried to fix it but nothing worked. We went to bed at 66 degrees, and woke up this morning at 60. It was sooooo cold. I called my mom for advice (she has the same gizmo on her wall) and she suggested possibly the pilot light might have gone out on the furnace and to call a furnace company. I called the hubby at work and he came home messed around with it some more and fixed it. He's so cool, he left work in the middle of the day. I made him mac & cheese for a present. Ethan and I are much warmer now, it's up to 66 and climbing. We are currently tied for second place in the fantasy football league. With hopes of going to the playoffs in first. Two more weeks but this week we have a bye. We are thinking about selling our house. We need a bigger one, 4 or 5 bedrooms. We need a guestroom and a room for the future little Applegates. We are coming home for Christmas, we won't be there very long though since we can't leave the dog here by herself or she destroys everything. We are doing it at Grammy and Grandpa's. Kourt is getting good grades in school and has dance class tonight. I have my bowling league. I got a 204 a couple of weeks ago. Don't know what happened but it was pretty awesome. Anyway that's all from us.

Happy Turkey Holocaust day dad! Hope it was better than mine, which I spent slaving under the cracking of the corporate whip.
Love you
Roger
