Day 25 of Giving Thanks......
............and just a few days until the day we set aside to give thanks with family.............
..............for today, I am most thankful for gas heat.............
...........in our area, the cheapest way to heat a home, other than with a woodstove which we don't have, nor do we have room for one, is with gas.
We have a wonderfully new digital thermostat where we can program in times for heat to come on or go lower by pre-setting the times/temps.
For instance, at 11 pm every night, I have it programmed to go down to 62 degrees as we all have the fleece blankets and heavy cotton quilts on our beds. Our bedrooms are carpeted which helps.
At 5:00 a.m. it is programmed to come on to 68 degrees so that by the time our alarms go off at 5:15 and 5:30, the house is warm............
At 8 a.m. I have it set to do down to 65 since we are all gone all day....and at 2:30 pm it goes back up to 68 so the house is cozy when my teen girl walks in the door from school at 2:45.
Thank you God for heat!!
What are you thankful for today??

We heat with wood here, but I have a cousin who gets free gas heat because the gas company drilled wells on their property. She loves it! And our son has a digital thermometer like you've described. It works well with their family, also.
