Let's hear it for running water!

Monday morning Michelle got up and moments later I hear: "There's no water". I panic, it has been 1 year since the frozen pipes incident and that's all I could think of. Turns out that the water main had frozen and burst. With our recent warm weather (highs of -7), the break thawed and water gushed into our neighbour's front yard. We went two days without running water. Daily morning trips to my sister's to shower other inconveniences abound. Today was our second morning with running water... truly miraculous.

What do you need running water for…? You have the river at your doorstep and an outhouse. No worries, right?

Unlike you soft Ontarians, Manitobans experience real winters.... The river has been frozen since November.
