Milestones, Washing Machines, & Peekaboo

Recently, we hit a few nice milestones for MovingStability. In December, we achieved 10,000 views of the blog since last December, when we began tracking them. Every time I check the counter I'm always surprised at how many hits we've had. You can see how many people are reading the blog and even see where our readers live in the world by clicking on the map on the right. As you can see our friends live far and wide. Thanks for reading!

Also, the last post was our 100th post. I hope you've enjoyed them. And on to the fun...

A few weeks ago our washing machine began making a horrible sound during the spin cycle, so we knew it had to be serviced. I bought the machine from a friend and it still had some warranty left on it. But, of course, the warranty expired 3 months ago. So we called the manufacturer and they came out and took it back to their shop, because, despite his best efforts, the repairman could not fix it here.

Surprisingly, they called us the next day to say that it was ready and they were going to drop it back that evening. When they brought it in, I noticed something small was taped to the top of the machine. Afer they put the machine back in place, he pulled the taped item off the machine and handed it to me. "Here's your problem," he said. There was an incredibly mangled 25 cent piece. It was bent several ways and part of the effigy was completely scratched off. It looked like it had been through...well, a washing machine. That 25 cents cost me 70 bucks. Lesson learned.

Last but not least, here's some fresh Selah content for everyone. She is beginning to do things like this more and more. And she is walking more and more. It's still just weird to see her walk around the corner and look at me.
