I’m glad you struggled through the BOM class despite the bad materials. There is a time and place for cheap fabric, but lessons are not one of them. Nothing will make someone quit enjoying something than having to fight through cheap materials while learning something.
Please remember that your adoring fans will want to see pics of the work in progress, along with your very handsome helper, of course.
She uses it to listen to his voice. I have messages from Dad, MIL and FIL saved, but I understand that I can transfer those messages to different phone (and did just that last week). She might not understand that giving up the phone won’t mean losing his voice, so refuses to give it up.
Be very careful, that sounds like all your good luck for the week!
Honestly…this is concerning me. There are meeses living somewhere, hence the unwelcome visitors. Rodents attract snakes. Snakes can easily climb up brick walls and through lattice if they want to. We have bull, king and rattlesnakes out this way and they are all very important to the desert ecology. I do not want them cat killed, which has happened in the past.
Hubs is going to have some clear plexiglass cut so we can put 2/3 meter high walls around the base of the catio, outside the lattice. As I have my doubts about this plan, I bought a little plastic kiddy pool and put it out on the other side of the yard. It has rocks and water and a couple of pieces of cord hanging into the water to use as escape ladders, so hopefully will be more attractive to the wildlife than breaking into a cage filled with excitable obligate carnivores.
Wow, I so miss working! NOT, LOLOL!!!
I hope the funeral goes well. I’d tell you to have fun…but funeral, so yeah.
Awwwwww!!!
Hubs bought me a heart shaped box of chocolates again this year. He did it last year too. I think he’s up to something cause he never used to buy me chocolates. Heck, it’s been almost 40 years and I can still remember that time he sent me flowers, LOL!

thank you for the no details part, but I will worry about it with you. You are the expert, if you are concerned, it is cause for everyone to worry.
That is so romantic! Hubs doesn’t mention the first meal I made for him because he loves me and doesn’t want to embarrass me. I’ve gotten much better over the years!
Our housekeeper was here today so we went into town for breakfast. Cracker barrel has a whole new menu with higher prices (no surprise there). When we were there around Christmas, they had a cranberry and something cocktail that had glitter and whole cranberries floating in the glass. It looked very pretty and festive, so I looked at their drink menu to see if they had a fancy VD drink. They did not, so I just drank my usual ice-water-with-lemon.
It snowed while we were in town and the ground was white about half the way home. It was rainy and sloppy when we got home and both of us ended up dancing around on the little entry way matt trying to take our boots off before we tracked up our nice shiny floors. Seeing as how we usually only dance together on 11/10 I’ll count this as a win.
