False Accusation

There has been a false accusation at my house. For months the new dryer has been accused of eating a sock. This morning, as I was putting a load of laundry into the new front loading washing machine, I noticed something odd about the rim at the door opening. There was a strange coloration and texture under the edge of the rubber flange around the opening. I pushed the rubber aside and much to my surprise!!! found my sock plus some undies (blush) plus my DSH's stretch ankle support (used after an ankle injury) and a dish cloth! How it still functioned with all that in there is beyond me. So, an apology is due the dryer and a watchful eye must always be on the washer.

Lunch

Today was a very special lunch with a very special person. We had a wonderful time at Lisa's Tea Treasures catching up with each other's lives. We haven't spent enough time together over the past few years and this last year has been a very difficult time for her. She has been strong through her trials, faithful to our Savior and an inspiration to all by keeping her sense of humor while never giving up in her fight. The special person is my sister. Our prayers are with you!!!

Labor Day

What a beautiful day today in Northern California! It is a mild 85 degrees with a slight breeze. Perfect for ripping open holes in the living room wall again. After two years of working on wiring, insulation, custom "towers" for speakers, sheet rock, texture and painting, we are once again ripping holes in the nicely finished walls. Actually, only one wall but it is sooooooo hard to start in again. We have furniture (covered in sheets) and some of the drapery is up and it was looking so nice. But, there was a slight deviation to the window wall plan and draperies are not going corner to corner. They are going just over the window so wall had to be opened up to place strong support between studs to hold the tie back rod. DSH is in commercial window coverings so we have just about every possible window treatment possible. That requires an extra long die-back rod. I'll go take some pictures to show what I mean and have my wonderful son-in-law put them in my blog.
