Filling a Water Bottle

Uncategorized 1 Minute

From a distance we saw a classic black and white lighthouse and drove to it. The house was closed, and we found out later there had been a fire in it. We were running short of water, so Lise took a bottle to refill at the fountain. This was the beginning of an episode that kept us laughing at ourselves.

Bodie Lighthouse

Lise pushed the button on the front of the fountain, and nothing came out of the pipe, although she heard water running. I wandered over and asked if I should push the button on the back. Giggling, Lise said, “I should have noticed the water splashing on my feet.”

The front button went to the dog water bowl! It was quite awkward to reach around the device to fill a bottle in front of you. I started the water flow from the back as Lise struggled to keep the bottle under the water. Wind was blowing it sideways. Magda joined us and took my place at the back. I moved to the side to help Lise hold the bottle in place.

Lise’s question was, “How many very intelligent women does it take to fill a water bottle?”

  1. That’s convenient for filling your water bottle – that’s a large bottle! We have the water fountains for dogs too at some parks, nicely placed down to their level. 🙂

      1. I am going to respectfully disagree with you, Anne. If nothing else, your England series shows how very smart you are, and you continue to carry it on.
