Fill Your Bucket

---

This husband and I…

Had a flood…a fancy fridge fiasco flood…ordered Fancy Fridge on Saturday…delivered it on Monday…

Had the doors off Old Fridge ready for removal…still couldn’t get it out…had to take off panels…wheels…the door to the house…

Neither of us handy with tools…and even less handy under pressure…the delivery man can’t help per the contract…waited patiently while two old folks bumbled about…

Exit Old Fridge enter Fancy Fridge in our dreams…sent it back…headed back to Menards to order a smaller less fancy fridge…thinking we were smart turning off the water and putting a small bucket under the water line for the ice maker…

But not…smart enough…

Water still in the line…bucket not big enough…came home to a deep lake covering the entire kitchen…

And so it is in life…fill your bucket…smile…laugh…do all things that bring you joy…but take it from an old gal …when you leave the house…just make sure your bucket…is big enough…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
