Dorito Dog - No Wonder She Weighs 90 PoundsMy internet has pooped out again this afternoon, and I couldn't get the blog to go. Again.
Been trying off and on all day to write the blog but guess the centurytel connection is giving me fits, so here I am at almost 11 p.m. getting it written. Maybe I just wasn't patient enough.
It was another beautiful warmer day. No sooner get the wood floors mopped or cleaned and there's a thousand little muddy footprints all over it again!
Called Joan over in "paradise" and we talked for a while. I always enjoy visiting with her. Sounds like we're both having troubles with our arthritis. She said she is laying tile by bending over. I can't get down on the floor or my hands and knees hardly at all either. Besides needing new knees, she sounds pretty good. Joan, have you tried one of those little gardening benches with wheels that you just scoot along on, low enough to bend over and work on the ground? I used to just sit on my rubbermaid step stool and that worked pretty good too.
Today I had been TRYING to work on getting all those duplicate photos in my external hard drive in some semblance of beginning to organize them. So have been working on photos all day long, except when I needed to do some kind of house work. I spent a few other days on doing sieges of it too. The big file in there looks a lot better now as I got thousands of photos into a couple of folders and essentially out of sight, and separate from the regular files. It’s a beginning. So it was good to go looking in the files and seeing what’s where. Next, if I ever go back, will be to start weeding out duplicates and making sure I don’t get rid of things I want to keep by mass deleting. I finally found my Yellowstone pictures with my sister and the kids from last year!! Hard to believe looking at thousands of pictures that I have trouble finding something I want to put on the blog.
For the past several days, Joe has been going up the ladder into the attic and doing something, I know not what, on the furnace. He's asked me for stools, but none of the four I have suited him. Today I asked him what he was doing and he said he was going to put that platform around the furnace, but I told him he didn't have to do that because the builder is supposed to come and do it. So he quit and took the ladder down, grumbling all the while. But not before getting marks on the wall and ceiling. But first I have to call the builder. Yes, I'll do it right away.
Sheral and I had a good visit on the phone this afternoon. We got most of the world's problems solved at last. Sounds like she's really getting her house in order, purging and sorting and painting and cleaning. It's been going on for quite some time now. Anyway it was good she called, because I sure needed a break from sorting photos.
I saw two bluebirds out on the deck railing this morning. I think they just send out scouts periodically to see if there's anything to eat here yet, and then they go back south for another couple of months.
Only those who dare, truly live.

In this photo, the floor looks beautiful. When I think of the problems you have, I am less inclined to think a wood floor would be a good idea for my bedroom.
