I started for home at about 10 a.m. this morning. Stopped at the Goodwill Donation Center with a printer that I had thrown in my truck to get rid of, and the two guys working the donations were absolutely in love with my truck. They kept circling it and noticing various features; one of the guys asked if he could look inside, and of course I said ok. One of them wanted to buy it, but I told him if and when I sell it will go as a package with the camper.
I got milk and 1/2 & 1/2 to bring back home, and on impulse bought some chocolate chip cookie mix. I have never in my life used a cookie mix before, and I hope they taste good enough that I can eat all 3 dozen!
When I walked in the door this morning I was hit by a blast of arctic air! Every window in the place was open, I guess to get rid of the odors from the new tile? They still have to paint, and while I thought they would just paint the wall where the cut-outs were, they can't match it to the original paint so they are going to do the entire thing.
I probably should have waited another day, but a week was all Lady and I could manage right now. I miss those little girls desperately, though.
- Never Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth!
I haven't heard anyone else say that for a long time, although I say it once in a while. As most readers know that how I came into possession of the dwelling I'm in is an instance of pure serendipity. I realized there were a lot of things that...
- Uh Oh!
I painted the ceiling this morning and started on the walls this afternoon. I should have let well enough alone and waited until tomorrow, but I was impatient to see the color on the walls. I finished the little alcove next to the closet, and the adjacent...
- More Packing & Cleaning
I am really weary by now, and anxious to get moved out of here. Then I will have about two weeks before I see the eye surgeon,and hopefully leave the next day. I still don't have 100% improvement in my eye, but my daughter reminded me that I still...
- Just Another Day
There really hasn't been anything to blog about lately. The biggest thing in my life is that my featherbed arrived, and is it ever heavy! I originally bought it thinking I would use it in the truck camper, but figure I might as well put it on my bed...
- Back To Buckeye
I was up very early this morning as we needed to go to Buckeye and be back in time for the honey wagon I'd signed up for. There is some construction on I-10 that really slows traffic, as it is reduced to one lane in each direction, so Dave found an...
