I woke up determined to finish the fall decorating tasks today, and I did. I took my time and tried to find new places for almost everything. Kept a few old favorites. The one distress I ran into was that I have been putting orange lights across the back of the couch. I only had one string and it was dead. I put purple up and it looks fine. When I totally finished, I drove over to Walmart for lights, but they did not have orange. I’ll have to check next June to find them before they get picked over. The Christmas stuff is jumping on the shelves, and will probably jump off just as quickly.
I decided I was not going to string the lights on the deck railings after it’s stained. It’s a lot of fuss, and although I love lights, it detracts from the deck and you can’t really hang on to the railings on the stairs. I purchased a lantern, put a string of fall lights in it, and sat it on the deck. I have another idea for one more string, but not until the stain gets on. Hope we get to that soon!
Last evening my friends Ginny and Glenn stopped with their poodles. It’s the first I’ve seen them and they are so big! And BLACK! Such fun to finally meet them. Gracie is a little smaller than Charlie, even though they are sister and brother. And they are so soft.
And THAT was my day! I’m reading a really good book by Rachel Hanna and it’s not a category romance; more like women’s fiction with a bit of mystery tucked in. Those are the types of books my friend Liz writes and they are my favorite. I’ve read over a dozen of Rachel’s books and this is the first one like this. It’s my favorite of hers, and I hope to finish it tonight!
September 23 – How did you get to and from school? “Walked the first 8 years to Davis school. Cousin Dora Burns taught music at our high school. We walked the mile up to the cement road & rode into Plumville with her.”
