Let's talk a bit about vacuums. This is probably not a subject that would come up in most conversations but the other day Larry was working on the retractable power cord on our vacuum and in doing that he discovered a couple of filters that we have never replaced. He dug out the manual to get the part numbers and noticed the receipt (he always staples the receipts to the owners manual) indicated we had purchased the vacuum 13 years ago. WOW, got me to thinking. I only remember owning two vacuums in our entire time together. Way back when we first got together Larry's mother bought us a Sears Kenmore canister vacuum as a gift (she probably was tired of us borrowing hers), that vacuum lasted us through 3 houses, 3 moves and two different states, heck it lasted longer than most marriages. When it finally sucked it's last bit of dust we replaced it with the Sears Kenmore canister vacuum we have today. Larry's mother still uses one of these vacuums and so does his sister, I have no idea how many each of them has owned but we all swear by them (not at them).

Now those folks who know us know if something isn't working correctly Larry will counsel it, work on it, try his very best to nurse it back to health and only after that will he finally replace it, well I am happy to report that our current vacuum only needed minor surgery and is now back to full health, a new vacuum will not be finding it's way into our home today.

It was raining on and off all day so we hung around the house. In the evening Larry and I went to Gatesville to square dance with the Coryell County Squares.
