In my last post on Sept. 21 we had just gotten home from a 9-day trip and found out we had no water at the house and were hooked up to our neighbor's house so we would have water.
It turns out that the pump for our well water died while we were gone and will need to be replaced (that was the new pump Mike had put in not too long after we moved in to the house). We called the Indian River County Water and found out what we needed to do to have county water hooked up. There was already a meter box installed, we just needed the water meter hooked up to the county line and then to our house.
We went to the county office and paid the $1145.00 impact fee and a $50.00 deposit to have the meter installed. Then we went to Maxwell & Sons Plumbing here in Sebastian and paid $530.00 to have them run water lines from the house to the water meter. So by Friday Sept. 25 we had county water hooked up. Thank goodness we have a great neighbor next-door, since we were hooked up to his water for about 3 days.
Last Thursday was my birthday and Mike and I went to Ruby Tuesday for dinner. Mike had the Asiago NY Strip and I had the Mushroom NY Strip and we both had a loaded baked potato and a glass of merlot.
This week I ordered the Florida Pioneer Descendants certificates and lapel pins for Mike, Fletcher and Chris (Mike's brother) and a certificate for myself for doing the research. There will be a presentation ceremony later this year at an Indian River Genealogical Society meeting in Vero Beach.
