Subject: Living Books for the Ears: Why YOU have ONE LAST CHANCE to grab our
FIRESLAE DEAL


Dear Friends,

Please read to see why... for the next FIVE days...
you have one last chance to get our best
homeschool resource package ever...

Here's the story:

Next week out here on the homestead (D.V.) we will finally be able to do
something we've NEVER been able to do before...

Turn on the outdoor water spigot and actually get WATER from our own well!

I don't think I've ever mentioned this before...

But over the past 12 months, I have spent several hours each and every week
HAULING water to our house in our big old black farm truck (named "Old Blue"
but that's another story). Every week... summer, fall, winter, spring, and
summer again, I've made trip after trip from the feed store down the road
to our house, filling up our water tank & hauling 250 gallons at a time back
here to the house, to take care of our household needs.

When you live beyond the sidewalks and the county water lines, sometimes you
do what you have to do. WE have learned to be "water misers" and make do
with low water pressure, quick showers, and fewer flushes. Lots of fun!

It wasn't always this way, but it hasn't been MUCH better...

I had rigged up a "temporary" pump in our well for the first six years we
were here, which enabled us to pump H20 up to a 55 gallon barrel... and then
siphon it by water hose down to cistern behind our house. Hardly an
efficient system, especially in cold weather, when my hands would freeze
along with everything else and the whole system would lock up as tight as an
ice drum.

Well, my "temporary" (HA HA) set up blew a gasket last summer, and ever
since then -- inbetween putting out newsletters and hauling loads of H2O --
we've tried to get someone out here to help install a really, truly, honest
to goodness
deep well pump for us so we could have REAL water and REAL water pressure in
the house.

But we found this isn't easy out here in the boonies... and it isn't cheap,
either.

First you have to dig the water line trench from the pump to the house and
lay your line...

Then you dig out a huge hole for a well house...

Then you build the "in the ground" cement and cinder block well house...

and then Finally, you install the deep well pump and hook it all up!

All this takes time & patience, big guys with backhoes & cement mixers...
and money.

Providentially, after 11 months of searching and waiting, this past two
weeks we were able to have our trench dug...water line laid... a hole dug
out for our well house... foundation poured... AND our well house actually
BUILT. Blessings all!

The only thing left now is to buy our pressure tank & switch box, and then
get our pump guy over here to set the pump, hook it all up, and turn on the
spigot...

...And then find a way to pay for all of this activity.

I tell you all the "behind the scenes" story to explain why we've decided to
make our
HOMESCHOOL RESOURCE FIRESALE available one last time -- and that is to
raise the funds we need to pay for all these blessings.

So, here you go... If you missed this before, here's one last chance at a
wonderful package of OVER A DOZEN of our best homeschool resources at a b
a r g a i n -basement p r i c e...

JUST FIVE MORE DAYS, and then we're done....

You'll get an incredible deal... and we'll appreciate your support

... and next week, we will thank you when we turn on the spigot and dance in
the
spray!

Best Wishes,
The Erskine Family
