Rainy Weekend Up North

There was a gorgeous moon last night!

We went to eat at Players, and ordered the special of the day, which was Polish sausage with kraut and tater tots. We added a salad to make it seem more healthy and then each brought half home to eat for our lunch today.

Today it started to rain and never stopped, so Bruce said it would be a good day to replace the broken water softener. We drove to the Home Depot in Brainerd to get one, and the guy at the register said, did you know that Menards is giving 11% off things today because if you did and you told me, I'd give you 11% off, too. Well, sure! So we received a $50 gift card from Home Depot, which was a pretty nice thing especially since it was unexpected. Bruce installed the new softener and then chipped at the impacted salt in the old softener. Once the salt is out of it, it will be easier to carry up the stairs to get rid of! Then as we waited for the water to regenerate, we watched Burn While Reading and sipped on a beer, mine in a wine glass with ice. Yum!

It will be nice to have soft, clean smelling water again.

And it's so nice to have a handy husband, too.
