Monday I had to spend a good part of the day without water while Thomas worked on draining and removing that water heater. So definitely on Monday I was grateful for having water.
I can remember when I was very young, one winter the pipes from our well (cistern) to the house froze and we were without water. We had had a bad snowstorm, so the roads were very bad. My father was able to make it to work and would come home at night with buckets and milk jugs full of water. But we still had to be careful not to use it up too fast. During the day my mother would melt snow (there was plenty of it) for us to wash in. It was only for a few days, but it wasn't much fun.
You forget how much you rely on having running water until you're without it!

ain't that the truth? and for some reason, we're never quite as thirsty for a tall glass of ice water until the well doesn't work.
