We have not disappeared...

It has been a while from my last post. I swear we haven't disappeared.

Just days after our last post we were served with papers from one of the well companies...they were suing us! Yes, that is right....they are suing us. We go to court this week so I don't want to get into it too much. They are suing us for monies that were unpaid. Hopefully our lawyer can prove our case!

After laughing really hard because I seriously feel like we can't make this up...I contacted my sister, Maura, about a process called smudging...we stopped at an all natural store here in Easton, PA and bought sage and blessed our house. We had all windows and doors open asking all those negative energies to leave our home. We even blessed the well piping and the perimeter of our lot...I am sure if our neighbors saw us they would think we were doing a strange exorcism...but I guess we did...we kicked out the negative energies! We had 2 bits of really good news in days of doing the smudging...so maybe it worked...


As for our water situation.... We are still having water delivered. Since our initial fill back in January, we have only refilled once....we are getting ready for our second fill. That's not so bad. We aren't being overly frugal with our usage so it is lasting about 2 months...We can handle this!

Two of the well guys are supposed to come back sometime in May to see what they can do. Roberto has done some research about how people in the south, like Florida, get wells....since it is all sand. He found that they do this liner inside the steel casing... like a PVC pipe that has holes drilled in it and then it is wrapped in a filtering fabric. This way the water is filtered before it even goes through the well pump, into the house and through our water filtration system. We don't know if this will work or is even an option. The well may be bad and may not be usable.  We may need a new well all together!  If our only option is to drill a new well, we will probably just wait a few years. We can budget for water delivery, we know what that will cost. We don't know what a new well will cost so that will have to be saved and budgeted for. I was really angry when I first heard this is what might happen.  But then I realized it is what is best for our family. We can get a handle on our finances (we have come a long way in the short few months) and pay off debt before we dump more money in another potential money pit.

I am still so lucky to be where I am and be with the person I am going through it with. Roberto has been so proactive, hands on, and patient during this entire process. He has educated himself and taken a slow, steady, and calm mind as we jumped each hurdle. I think I would have been a lot more impulsive if I had to be the one on the forefront...I am glad he is taking it on!

Keep tuned it...and keep your fingers crossed the hearing goes well on Tuesday!
