When we arrived home!

When Doug got out of the truck to go and open the 5th wheel, he could hear water running! Come to find out, the filter under the sink broke and there was water gushing out, even out of the 5th wheel, under the doors and everywhere, we don't know how long it was going like that, but it flooded us out, the toilet was frozen, couldn't use that, The cold water was still working, but we thought that all the pipes were broken, but we were saved there. the filter on the back of the frig was broken so no drinking water there either, but we were blessed that the pipes did not freeze, Doug turned off the water, then looked and saw the filter broke, so there was water everywhere, so I called my freind Barbara, who has a homemade house that looks like a bed and breakfast, if we could stay there for the night, so we stayed there that night, the next day was Sunday and I had to play the piano for the ward Christmas program in church, so Doug went home to take care of things, and I went to church to take care of the calling. The carpet under and in front of my bed was soaked, and we was using a water vac to get some of the water. so I have been walking on boards so I won't get my socks wet. we have electic heaters to heat our 5th wheel. Right now I have 3 in my frontroom where I sleep, and I have an electic blacket that is toasty and warm. I have a running rug on top of the boards to keep dry. What fun it is! But the toilet works now, and everything is well now, Doug just has to buy the filters so we can have clean drinking water again. The rug is almost dry. But I filled up the big orange water jug full of drinking water so I do have some drinking water, so he will be going friday to Salt Lake.
