Looks really nice. I like white furniture.

@caroln
Great job, and excellent determination and patience, on your part, sticking with that project!

I'm still in awe of the freaking genius who figured out how to put all those pieces into one box!

I hadn't thought of that!
That might truly be the even more difficult and more time-consuming task of the 2 construction projects!

 

[hollydolly]

I hear you on that, @hollydolly
Postage rates are crazy.

But how can we set a price limit on her happiness?

'tis true.. we can't... so I'll get the teapot, and you can pay the postage...

 

[Kaila]

I'm still in awe of the freaking genius who figured out how to put all those pieces into one box!

What if they had fit all but one, into one box?

And then, they'd had to send you a second box, with that single piece?

It would make a good game or contest, to let multiple people try to fit all the pieces into the one box,
(or one person multiple times)
while being timed.
Or with a time limit!

'tis true.. we can't... so I'll get the teapot, and you can pay the postage...

Never mind, after all. I have reconsidered, and I concluded that she seemed happy enough, the most recent time she posted!

this is what it look like here today...

We have the horses and sheep, but our trees do not come out this early, just saying

 

[Georgiagranny]

I planted stuff. And killed weeds. I'm tired.

Sir wasn't at work today. He wasn't there yesterday, but he's off on Fridays so I thought nothing of it. I did wonder why the place was just not the same as it usually is after I've been off on Thursday...stuff half done or not done. What?

About 9 this morning (after I'd been there for three hours!) it occurred to somebody to let me know that Sir left early Thursday because he wasn't feeling well and is in the hospital.

Excuse me? On a need-to-know basis, it would seem obvious that I should have been told yesterday.

>le sigh<

Supposed to be sort of rainy tomorrow. Fine. I plan to be tired after work and don't wanna work in the garden.

 

[hollydolly]

where are you exactly ?

 

[Georgiagranny]

Hm. Our trees are all leafed out already. I guess I've been here long enough that it feels like it should be like that everywhere.

 

[Avon]

where are you exactly ?

Around a ninety-mile drive South of you.

it's like that most places here in the South... I suppose other parts of the country don't get as much sun as we do.. so trees will be later coming into leaf..

 

[hollydolly]

Around a ninety-mile drive South of you.

what ?.. and you have no leaves on the trees.. ?.. eh ? ..where are you.. ?..Brighton ?

Hubby & I went flea marketing at an old airport.
He got a great buy on some tools,,, as if he needed more.

I found a like new shirt for myself,, $4!

I had planned on buy couple new ones when we get back from our son's.

Afraid not, but where once the landowner could walk from the sea to London without ever walking off his land.

I have no idea.. but I;m totally surprised that if you're in the south you haven't got everything blooming as we have here

Just watch the Sycamore does not poison the grazing horses, two were lost here last year.

I green-up time in the desert!

I went back to the web site to read other people's reviews of the dresser and there were a lot of people saying how easy it was to put together! Like, "I did it in 2 hours." "I put it together in 40 minutes and I'm a 80 year old grandmother." I think Granny needs a new clock.

~I did more digital purging of the photos on my iMac.
~Loaded and ran the dishwasher since I fell asleep last night before I could do it.
~Spent the tail end of the morning, all afternoon and early evening making calls
and sending out emails about our upcoming family reunion.
~I took two naps today, watched T.V., played WWF2 and Cody Cross.

Morning all.....made it thru the nite...it was ruff tho...the reason I hesitate to go urgent care, or E.R. is due to past experiences with both agencies.....lousy enuff to put me off of using them
except when violently ill...and I'm not there yet....slept off and
on last nite, but here it is bright and sunny out, so will enjoy
the day the best I can, without griping too much....have a
great day......

I understand why you don't want to go to the ER unless absolutely necessary. One night my husband and I literally were waiting in the ER for him to be seen for at least 12 hours. You would have thought there was a Rock concert going on there were so many people there that night. Leaving was not an option and he was admitted.

I'm glad you were able to get some sleep and were determined to enjoy the day. I do think staying as positive as possible helps.

 

[Georgiagranny]

It's raining.
