Rather beautiful weeds!

Calla lilies are weeds in your neck of the woods?! Lucky you!

The flight was uneventful and ontime. Navigating the traffic here, very eventful. Ordering party platters from Costco also eventful, but hopefully accomplished. We have a very early morning start tomorrow, due to the uncertainties of traffic. We need to be in Salem by 9:30, and we are on the other side of the city. We are allowing 2.5 hours, and hope we arrive early and can kick back and have a coffee.

More later...

Yeah, traffic there can be tough. Exciting day!

Today I tried to hook up a new hose reel to the only backyard spigot. It would not go on and neither would the hose. A little googling brought me to a YouTube video describing a tool that cleans and reshapes the threads on hose bibs when they have been messed up (usually by misthreading hoses). Who knew?? Amazon is bringing me one tomorrow for $20. Wish me luck.

I spoke with the designer today and made a plan for the next round of stuff I need done. Hopefully she can get to it before I leave. I also made an appointment with a screen repair person to fix my cat patio screen door (screened patio the previous owners put in for their cats) and to fix the screen on my back door that is getting thin around the handle. Might as well fix it before my hand breaks through.

I also managed (miracle of miracles) to trim Kirby's fuzzy bedroom slipper paws. He makes any grooming task a total nightmare, so I really am proud of us! They look so cute!

I think that's all for now. Hair appt tomorrow. I need it!

Take care!

When do you leave for Michigan (and how long will you be there)?

I haven't decided yet. Probably late June through September? When I'm here I don't want to be there and when I'm there I don't want to be here! a good problem to have I suppose!
