Greetings, oh, ever-faithful readers! It's nice to know you're out there, and you CARE! (Paul: Thanks for the compliment!)
Predictably, it's very warm and sunny, here in the Sunshine State. Too warm, if ya ask me! I experienced 'icky sweat' again yesterday and today, and frizzy hair--which makes me cranky even in the summer! The 'Snowbirds' are lovin' it. They go inside, crank up their air conditioners and then call the folks back home in Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio and brag....
So, this afternoon I passed the time by working on my Florida Tan while stripping the paper wrapping off 50 year-old copper phone wire, which had recently been dug up on a road construction site. "Why?" you ask. Because there's a pile of it at the neighbors' house and a recycling center that's paying good money for it! And, it gives me something to do while working on my Florida Tan. :) Yesterday, the neighborlady took a 960# chunk of un-stripped cable and sold it. Doesn't get nearly so much per pound, but none of us even considered stripping that monster!
Hubby is still hacking and croaking. Says he's finally a bit better today, but he mostly talks in whispers, so I can't be sure....
I finally got all the Christmas baubles packed away, and most of the regular stuff put back on display. Even made an awesome-looking bouquet full of burgundy, pink and off-white flowers. I'm on the verge of over-doing the burgundy in my green living room...added burgundy pillow covers today! But, hey! I don't want my beautiful new burgundy leather and oak chair to stand out too much!!! LOL! The chair serves double duty as an easy chair when it's not being an executive desk chair. (It's a travel trailer concept....) :) Sure is a comfy chair! I got on a mark-down at Staples last weekend and found a new home for my old, boring, not-real-sturdy, cheapy, black desk chair.
Speaking of CHAIRS! I went dumpster-diving yesterday and came home with a prize! 2 very nice, metal dinette chairs--off-white, nearly new seats.... perfect for the neighbors' screen room table! Of course, you might be interested to know that 'dumpster diving' here isn't much of a stretch. The dumpster is 3 lots down from ours! LOL!
Enough. I'm getting tired of typing, so you must be really tired of reading!!! Off to beddy-bye.....
