drip, drip

It is raining again -- second day in a row, or is it the third day...my brain is water logged!

Not flooding rains, at least not here -- just a slow gentle rain except for the occasional downpour.

Sweetie and Gracie were caught a block or so from the house in one of those sudden downpours. Gracie HATES getting wet -- they raced each other home and both arrived a bit soggy.

It is new faucet day -- our old kitchen faucet was about 30 years old and it finally wore out. We are replacing it today -- sticker shock when we saw the price of a good quality faucet. We bought a Moen faucet -- one of the better brands and one of the better models. After all, if the previous one lasted 30 years the cost will be rather low with that many years of use figured in.

Our old faucet had the sprayer that pulled up from the base on the right side -- lovely and useful when hair washing. However, just one tiny problem -- some days it would decide to spray when we didn't ask it to. I was not happy to be suddenly drenched by the sprayer when I was all dressed up and just getting a drink before leaving! I kept a plastic bag over the top of it for some time, just to give myself a fighting chance to get out of the way when it misbehaved!

The new one has the sprayer head that pulls down from the faucet -- not from a separate place. We used one like it when we visited Florida and liked the way it worked. We also got the model with the high curved shape which is lovely when filling large pans.

One thing I find interesting, when I watch House Hunters International, is the plumbing one sees in different countries. It is like visiting there without leaving the USA!
