No, I have not been back there, much as I would love to! When we were there, the found that the classic gardens we have all read about were all worth while, even just to be able to picture what everyone else seemed to have seen! We bought a pass for the National Trust Gardens and then planned routes that would take us by several of them each trip.

I don't know where you live, RN...but believe it or not...this frigid weather the country has been having is to blame for much of the current slowdown. It's been driving me slightly bonkers for the past week or so. On the rare occasion that we have a warmer day...my usual speed returns. When it first occurred...I did as you did. Ran all the usual checks on my system and found nothing amiss. Then I did some further investigation which led to the info regarding freezing weather and the internet pipeline. So...if your system remains in top notch condition...with no beasties sneaking in a back door...sit tight. Once this blast of polar air is gone...the slowness problem should go with it.

L.L. Bean water hog mats
Q
Comments (6)
On a quick look at the website, I think I saw that the recycled has 25% more substance. I did not even notice the prices. Are they 20% more in cost? Anyway, I want to tell you that we have two large Waterhog mats (the recycled) and they are so sturdy. Small rugs elsewhere in the house have undergone multiple replacements over the years, but the Waterhogs just keep on going, still looking crisp and clean. Twice a year we wash, them hung over sawhorses, sprayed with the garden hose and a Dawn detergent solution. One compliant is that it can be hard to get them to let loose of some bits of debris when vacuuming. It is not just my vacuum; I'm on my second vac and still have the same problem. I also saw mention of that at the LLBean website reviews before I purchased. The other concern/complaint is that I've decided they do look a little "commercial", like something you might find at a store entry. I can live with both complaints quite well because they just function so well. No sliding even without carpet tape. Wears like iron. Doesn't seem to stain. Doesn't crease or roll up at corners. Truly does catch the water, ice, snow, salt, dirt, sand, grass, pebbles, etc that otherwise might track through the house. A lifetime purchase.

Lighting for L-Kitchen with L-Island
Q

Hi Jen! Sorry, I didn’t look at my notifications and only saw your post today. We decided on a combination of above plans, I attached it below. A note to the can lights in the aisles: I deliberately positioned them more in the middle of the aisles, since we will have under cabinet lighting at all counter spaces (except island and there we will have the pendants). And yes, thanks! The demo is finally completely done (found a couple of plumbing issues) and from now on everything will slowly get put back together. I hope yours does too!

Without a doubt, most of you will laugh at me, but for me, "L" is for "LOVE".

I first me Jan 35 years ago. At the time I was a long haul truck driver typically staying out on the road 3 to 4 months at a time. I rented a room in her house basically just to have a place to call home on those brief intervals when I would come in for a week or so. For the 35 years that followed Jan and I remained the best of friends, although it seems that when she was single I was involved with someone and vice versa.

About a year ago we realized that we were both retired and single so we began chatting regularly on the phone, she being in Massachusetts and I in Ohio. One thing led to another and on the 11th of August I moved back to Massachusetts and Jan and I are now living together.

Although I was seriously into photography as a semi pro in my youth I had gotten away from it until I retired two years ago when I once again took it up as my retirement hobby. Since then I have adopted a lifestyle which is aptly described by the Australian's as going on "Walkabout" where one heads out to explore his or her surroundings with no intended destination or time to return. It may be just a day trip or it could result in weeks or months before you return home.

I carry two Pentax DSLR's and a small assortment of lenses and accessories. Since we got together Jan has taken up the 2nd camera and is now a serious student of photography and both being on retirement we are free to go on walkabouts together whenever and wherever the spirit may move us.

Here is a picture of she and I reminiscing at Five Mile Pond, Springfield, Mass, a place were she and I once spent a romantic afternoon on the beach 35 yrs ago.
