A Valuable Lesson Learned

This morning as we were getting ready to walk out the door for church, Walter went to our bedroom to turn the swamp cooler on (though at the time I didn't know that's what he was doing).

As I was walking towards our bedroom I looked up and a huge cloud of dust was coming my way!

I screamed, "Honey, what is this!" His answer - "I know. I know."

Then it hit me. He turned the swamp cooler on. A cloud of dust was thrust into our bedroom and funneled out into the rest of the house just as we were walking out the door!

Usually around the end of November we cover the swamp cooler with plastic to help keep out the cold air until spring arrives. But we didn't do it last November. Why, you may ask? I dunno! I forgot to remind my husband? I didn't think that dust would accumulate inside the cooler and blow out when turned on?

But now I have dust all over the house, but especially all over my bedroom.

I don't think we will forget to cover it again! A valuable lesson learned indeed!
