I was just starting to feel good again after the Mohs surgery and had been editing some pictures for the blog. I had the appointment to remove the stitches from the bolster and things were looking good. Then the hot water heater quit working, I discovered a leak had filled the case with water and burned up the heater wiring. The water heater is located in the back of a bedroom closet, the last time I replaced it I decided the next time it was going out through the wall. I was usually tired enough after each days work that I had no desire to do the blog so I will start now with the older pictures and work towards getting caught up.

Today was Jacob's birthday, Bev had ridden the train up to Kelso and Michelle picked her up. I wasn't feeling well enough after the surgery to go so I asked Michelle if she could pick up our present. They had some time before the party so they stopped and we had a very nice visit.
We always try and get a picture of the girls together.
5-14-2023 Mother's Day
Mik, Michelle and James came to see Vera today and brought Papa Pete's pizza to share for dinner. Just before they left we had a photo session on the porch.
They insisted I get in one picture bandages and all. Luckily the one on the right side had fallen off.
Then Vera took the camera and got Mik into the picture.
A while later Josh called and wanted to know if they could stop by. Jacob and Vera always have a lot of fun with the games we have. He is getting pretty good at them.
Jordon was asleep when they got there but finally woke up and started rough housing with his dad.
We ended up with Mother's Day pictures of everyone except Debbie who was working.
I was wandering around a little after Josh and the boys left and took this picture of our bachelor buttons. They are doing great without any care from us.

Vera got a call today from Joanne one of the ladies in her bible study. Her husband Larry had caught a salmon this morning and they wanted to give some to us. This is after Vera baked it and it was delicious! We had a nice visit with them and we got to show them the shop and my planes.

Because one of the medicines the Mohs clinic has me taking reacts with another one I take I had to get a blood test today. After going to Kaiser for that we stopped at Safeway for a few things. I was surprised how tired I got walking around there for a few minutes. On the way home we found out the road around Rocky Point was now open and this is a picture of the new bridge they had installed.

Vera mentioned before leaving for bible study that there was no hot water this morning. It is not a good sign when there is rusty water leaking out the heater access panel. I took this picture and started researching replacements. It is located in a bedroom closet at the far end of the closet and I had to force the last one through the opening. I said at that time the next time it need changing I would cut a hole in the wall so I started planning that. I discovered the PUD has a rebate plan for Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heaters that covers about half of the cost. After checking prices on good quality electric heaters I discovered that my cost would only be a couple of hundred more, so I got one ordered. I started opening the wall up over the weekend so I will start a new post of when it was delivered on Monday.
