Toilet valve cracked and was spewing water out the top into the tank—no shut off. Put a call into a plumber last night, but when I told my brother and he said he could easily replace the unit if he were there, I figured I could fix it myself.

Many late night walks to this park in late spring and summer I leaned back against the trunk of this chestnut tree and shared passionate kisses with my first husband. It’s grown a lot since the mid 1980s.
