No, this challenge has nothing to do with quilting, not directly, although we are having the monthly family and friends quilting day (aka “Stitch & Bitch”) tomorrow. The basement is all set up, and when I went into the back room I discovered water all over the floor. I traced it back to the water heater. Got Mom up, read the directions on the water heater (we’re women, we do that sort of thing), and turned off the water and the gas. I hiked out to the shed for a garden hose (snowboots required), and we’re draining the tank now. Mom’s wielding the shop vac to suck up all of the water.

Sigh. I really needed to wash my hair tomorrow.
