70°f/2+°C, showers in the morning, storms and showers most of the say. Yes!
Supper: grapes, raspberry-banana bread, and iced tea. Add my book, and a favorite photo of my Dad: perfect.
A rainy day is a good day for errands, isn't it? Can't work in the gardens, don't want to do housework, so Option 3: run errands.
First stop today was to buy these lamps from a friend.
Aren't they gorgeous? If you like Victorian decor, that is. My friend is liquidating her late mother-in-law's estate. We had bought some things from her mother-in-law a few years ago, when she was downsizing so she could move to a more suitable house. She passed away last year, and since she had only one son, he and my friend are the only heirs. Their children took what they wanted, and I am buying what's left. There isn't a lot, mainly glassware and a few lamps and framed art.
As you can see, we took them directly to our booth. No sense dragging them home first over our bumpy road! We must go back in a couple weeks for the rest, but it will all be nice additions to our stock. We took the cabinet we bought over the weekend to the booth too, so the van is, amazingly, empty for the moment. Rarely happens.
We had lunch with friends, then it was grocery store and feed store, and home, where I had ebay to pack...and my book to read. It is still showering a bit, and showers and storms may continue into tomorrow morning. We are so relieved; it looks like a rainy pattern for the next several days, and I will do my best not to complain, as we really need it. We are running our air conditioners, because humidity is through the roof, 99% right now.
And that is about all the news from here. I had nice long phone conversations the past few days with my sons, my sister Theresa who had her birthday Sunday, and with my friend Leah who is recovering rapidly from her brain surgery to remove an aneurism. Oh, and with my friend Nancy in Arizona, and Melanie in Pittsburgh. It's always good to catch up with everyone. Remember when long distance calls cost a fortune? One huge benefit of cell phones. I well remember $300+ phone bills when my sons were stationed overseas or on the other side of the country. At one time, we had one in Seattle, one in Germany, and one in Korea.
I'll close with this photo I took on our way out today, of our neighbor's hardworking dog.
Isn't he funny? He sure was proud of his stick!
