Beneath the Wraps

           For a week now we have been touching up our house.   The deck REALLY needed a make- over.   I don’t think it’s been painted/stained for two or three years.   It NEEDED a fresh coat of something.   And Richard was concerned about the trim facing west as it also needed a fresh coat of paint in his opinion.   Honestly no one is going to notice.   Nobody ever goes back there – especially to look at the shutters.   But whatever.   So here are some things we have done.   we painted the chairs after this photo was taken clean up             I thought I had posted about our make-shift shed that we made from the tarp of a greenhouse kit.    Richard built the frame to last – but the tarp did not.    It started out with good intentions but became more of an eye sore each time it was moved.    And so much junk accumulated over the years...

                 Though the word “Exciting” is generally related to being a positive adjective, one’s anxiety level does not always mean the “excitement” is positive.  Take yesterday for example.  My, what a long day –           It started out as a dry run to the dump – just to explore without first loading up and appearing to be lost.   I told Richard he should ask questions while we were there.   He didn’t.   That’s on him.           As we were passing downtown anyway, Jaime wanted to stop by Tommy’s to get a treat. We loaded up the truck after we returned.           The truck was purchased from a member who is going through a divorce.   He said that it needed a new battery which we have not purchased yet.   I think we need to do that.      ...
