Wheat free challenge!

My sister has been diagnosed with celiac disease, and I know my knees feel better if I do not eat wheat, and that they would feel even better if I dropped a little weight, so we are starting a wheat free challenge. We will touch base every day and share weight and wheat free eating tips.
We talked at 6:00. At 7:30 I thoughtlessly had a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie. I realized this even later in the evening! So, on this challenge, I have no where to go but up! 
Days wheat free since 4/18 =0

Adventures in plumbing

Winter is hard on plumbing. The sink in the unheated mudroom is a case in point. We tried turning it on today and the base of the faucet is split so it leaks every time we turn on the water.
So we found a valve we had in a drawer and adorable hubby spent several frustrating hours putting it together. When we turned the water on, this valve also is split and leaks slowly.  So it is usable now, but still not really fixed. 
I will burn the weeds in the garden tomorrow night.
Lesson of the Day: when you take a part off of something because it is broken, mark the part "Broken" if you are going to keep it for emergencies.  You would think I would have learned that by now! Oh well, we have a working hose faucet again. Spring chores are always a joy because it is spring!
