Birthday Give A-Way & The Walking Toilet

 

I am having a Birthday Give A-way.  My birthday is coming up on February 23, and I thought to myself “self, why not have a give a-way to celebrate it to your blogging friends” (if you read my post last night or today you would have know this was coming).

So as you can see from above I am giving a way this Moda Sweet Serenade Jelly Roll.  How would you like to get you hands on that.  You will not have to jump through hoops for this great jelly roll give away.  Just leave a comment on this post on what you plan to make with it.  Not really, who can know before they get it what they will make with it.  I know I didn’t when I brought it.  Just leave a comment that you want it.  I will let the Random Generator do its thing to pick the winner.  You have until Feb. 28th midnight and I will let you know by e-mail.  I will mail it anywhere.

Now the story of the walking toilet.

O.K. it did not really walk (I just thought it was a great title to use).  This picture is not the new toilet.  As most of my readers know I had knee surgery early last year.  I still have problems with it and trying to get up from the toilet was one of them.  So, about 6 month ago Tom and I went out an brought a tall 17” toilet.  It set at the front door for about 2 or 3 weeks, then made it way upstairs to one of the back bedrooms.  Tom was going to put it in.  I said I would call a plumber, but you know how men can be, they like to do it themselves.  So as the months went by, I said nothing other then “I see the toilet is still setting in the back room, you don’t thing any body will use it do you.”  I guess in finally got tired of my asking about when he was going to put it in (it already been 6 months).

Well he called me at work last week to let me know that he watch a YouTube video on how to install the toilet, and how easy it would be.  That was around 9:00 am.  When I got home and went upstairs, what did I see but the old toilet setting in the bedroom?????  The new toilet still in the box????  Thank God, I did not have to use it right away.  (We do have one in the basement).  Seem he had some running around to do (Oh why do we let the men in our lives, work us so hard???, should have called the plumber.)  I only had to make one run to the basement.  He did get the new one in that night.

The old toilet that was sitting in the bedroom was move to the hall and set there for 2 days.  When I got home from work it seem to make its way downstairs by the the staircase (wish I had taken pictures) covered up.  Sat there for a week, now it is sitting on the back porch.  The snow storm we had last week prevent it from making it to the back fence for pick-up.  Snow has cleared, now we see how long it will take it to walk to the fence to be picked up.

I have to say, that now I have the best sit in the house and it has two flush modes for I and II (no pictures).

So I’ll be flushing on along, need to work on my quilt.  Don’t forget the give a way.
