Smalls

Littles.

I made Littles!   These are about half the size of all the others.

They are obviously sisters.  Similar but different.  Because little sisters don’t always want to be like their older sis.  

So I am caught up.......for today.  It seems Lynne has hired an agent.........Julie has “suggested” I make love birds.    Like Tonya Harding “suggested” Nancy Kerrigan  not skate anymore......

While I was making the sisters, I decided to invent an altogether new technique.  I used the stripes to make tiny legs.  But on the second one I had three legs showing.  Definitely a new technique.

I spent the day power washing the outside of the CAAWS Shelter Building.  All by myself.  I was cold. I was wet.  I was dirty. My nozzle hand was killing me. My arms were shaking from the effort.  And my bulging disk had started to hurt.  But the homeless lady we give dog food to when we get donations didn’t show up.  And we had already rented the machine.  I came home, took ibuprofen and whiskey and got a shower.  I am somewhat better.  Think of all the calories I burned doing that powerwashing!

We put up Christmas lights yesterday but he couldn’t find the extension cord until tonight.

We have a problem because sometimes we know we own something, but we probably lost it in the flood.  So many people were taking things out and tossing it on that huge pile, we didn’t always see everything we lost.  

Funny thing is, you may think it is gone, but in your mind you can still see it where it should be.  So your mind plays tricks.

Holiday Fantasy Lights!

Here are the meager decorations, or rather lights, that will garnish our house this season.

3 strings of net lighting (these are soooo cool!)





1 string of new lights we bought last year that we salvaged from three strings.  We won't be getting these again!  One year? that is all they lasted.



And these new guys I bought on sale from the end of last season at Home Depot or Lowes'



On the net lights, only one small section blinks.  And it depends on the temperature as to whether more blink or none at all.

So we never know what will be happening from night to night.


The whole shebang!  Not so great, but it will do.
