I agree. There are a lot of fixtures out there, but it's a big space and it's like drops in the ocean with no delineation of the edges of the hardscape and nothing lighting the pergola area that has 4 lounge chairs.

I also noticed the spa light is burnt out (Paula jinxed me!) so need to have that fixed as the pool lights on should help keep people from falling in there.

Ha! Justice's stink eye.

Apparently I've entered another productive phase! I should plot it against the star charts to find a pattern . I washed both of my cars yesterday myself. Including vacuuming dog hair out. They look really nice. I was going to go to the car wash, but when I drove by, there were several already waiting and this car wash is not like the ones in CA where you get a spotless car in 15 minutes for $30. This is 4 hours for the same level of clean for $70. So I went home and did it myself. Then I ran the window cleaner on a few more sliders with dog snot. It does a nice job with that. I ran out of oomph to put the box together, but I will do that next.

Josue the tile guy is coming today to give me a quote to seal the flagstone patios. It really needs to happen every year, but I didn't do it last year. I also need him to put some spongy filler in a gap that was exposed when the cat patio screen was replaced. It no longer has a bottom track and that was covering the crack.

I also pondered outdoor lighting last night. I agreed to have one of the plein air painting festival events at my house in October (eek). Which runs until after dark, which makes me think about how dark it is in my backyard and I don't need people tripping back there...

Kirby needs a walk today. So I'll do that and work on the box and whatever else unfolds...

Take care!

Those sandwiches sound good! We never have stuff like that at home.

We would describe that as a slow news day! Lol! I remember my grandma's very small town newspaper describing the social happenings of the town, who had family over for a visit, who hosted coffee at their house, who attended the church bazaar, what Mary Ann made for dinner! Lol kind of sounds like our conversations on here some days! All about each other's lives!

Greetings all

Continued sun here. There are beach warnings but no wind. I guess the sneaker waves are really bad and dangerous. A few days ago a local man was fishing and got washed away. He had a wife and a couple of little kids. Not safe. Good thing I have no urge to go fishing.

So today is our 31 wedding anniversary.. Time flies. Not doing anything special except going to our favorite restaurant with the ocean view which has good small plates. Plus we will stop by the gallery so I can take some new stuff. A trip to the gym in a bit and thats about all. I made grilled roast beef sandwiches last night with smoked cheddar and that was good.

Hmm Liz that dog is giving Justice the stink eye. Hope you don't meet up with it on walks. But it looks like a great spot - enjoy. Somewhere 5000 miles away DD has her toes in the same ocean!

CC you are industrious. Good on you for getting those repairs done. And FYI husbands don't always do the guy maintenance chores. My DH is great with electronics but other stuff ????. Along with a nicer larger home comes more devices and items to break and things to clean I guess. And a water spout from the Toto???!!! What a mess. Glad you had a fun lunch and got to hear about Antarctica. One of my scrabble friends went there last year and was really impressed. I would go if it wasn't so hard to get there.

Rats on the golf cart chronicles Paula. What a crappy dealer. Is there such a thing as the Better Business Bureau any more? I guess these days it is a bad Yelp review.

Not much else. I really need to find some new things to do before I am totally fossilized. Art is rather uninspired these days and I need to come up with new stuff. Good time to experiment as sales are slow at the gallery and I don't have to worry about production.
