We have heat and hot water!

Finally!  After 8 weeks, the gas in our apartment has been reconnected and we have central heat, hot tap water and are cooking with gas!  Early this afternoon the gas company turned on the gas and then late afternoon the serviceman came and started our boiler/water heater.  The heat feels so nice!

We are celebrating with long, hot baths and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

The cookies have been waiting 8 weeks to be made.  When Vince McCarty visited in September, he brought some chocolate chips as a gift.  We used half of them to make a small batch of cookies while Vince was here.  Then the gas was shut off and the second batch had to wait.  My, how good they taste now!

Thanks, everyone, for your prayers and concern.
