Finally, we have heat again

Actually, this is more to Laura's benefit than mine. I kinda like getting up to 55 degree temps. About three weeks ago our heat pump died. Since it is as old as the house, over 30 years, it was time to get a new one. Laura did all of the calling around, got bids, and did the negotiating. Her brother Munchie gave some useful advice on heat pumps and prices.

Today, bright and early, the work crew showed up with the new Trane heat pump and installed it. Laura has been luxuriating in having plenty of heat again. For the last three weeks we have been spending a lot of time in the tv room with Leo in front of our gas fire place. We have a little heated blanket that Leo loves to sleep on. The cats sleep on Laura. And I can tolerate the cold. But it is getting colder and will get colder yet, so it was time to get some heat.

But Laura has promised me I can turn the heat down as low as I want at night.
