Because My Son-In-Law...

...thought to bungee cord his cell phone to the porch post.

Hear ye, hear ye!

Come one, come all - it's time for our annual charity blog shoot.  Murphy's Law has the details, and he's the fella who needs to hear from folks so that he can plan.  So read the details over here and give him a shout.  We needs bunches of people, and surely the Obamabots haven't scared off everyone in the D.C. metro area.

Signs of the Times

Good Morning!

Now please tell your mother to stop eating the leaves off my Japanese maple.

Ize Tired

Steps painted.  Window screens scrubbed and windows washed.  Curtains laundered.  Carpet cleaned.  Garage cleaned.  Laundry room straightened.  House power washed.

Good thing company will be here soon 'cause I'm gonna die of exhaustion from trying to get ready if they aren't...

Today's major adventure - replace the starter in the electric grill, which waited until I was going to really need it to go belly up.

Company Coming

Lots of company.  For 2 weeks.  Peddling like crazy to get ready.  Blogging light to nil.  I'll be more sociable come September.

I Tugged At the Corner

And it went down hill from there.  Not to mention that my corner tug was at about 8 pm Saturday night and it took me until after 11 to get all the carpet strips out and everything cleaned up when I was done.

 

Now I have to paint it. 

Neighbors

I think I've lived here.
