The Kitchen Table

Good Morning!

Good Morning everyone. I am waiting to go to town to get groceries with Amber. Cheryl is going to puppy sit for us at Amber's. The weather is going to get up into the 90's today so we will not be taking the dogs with us. We should be able to get back sooner from our trip. I have been doing some laundry this morning. What is everyone else up to today?

I have two committee meetings, one this a.m. and one just after lunch. Then I have to get some groceries so I can make a coffee cake and raisin buns for another meeting tomorrow morning. This evening I will be doing some baking. So it will be a busy day.

I guess I'll be doing laundry and doing some yard work even though we are going to be up in the 90's too. I'll just run in and out of the air conditioning. Hope everyone has a way to keep cool today whether it be a fan, central air or a swimming pool. Have a good day and keep coool!!

I've never seen bedbugs except for the pictures on the web. Kath, I hope you had no hitchhikers. You certainly took plenty of precautions, I bet you'll be fine. One of the conference rooms at work had been infested with them. The managers wisely selected a different room for meetings for about a month. The exterminators were in on the day they were first seen. Speaking of bugs, today, I am finishing up debugging the tropicals that spend summer outside in prep for bringing them in for winter. We are supposed to get into the thirties Friday and Saturday evening. I used to always use a systemic, but this year I am trying something that I saw on Facebook. I am submerging the pots and as much foliage as possible in soapy water for half an hour. I am wiping all parts that cannot be submerged with the same soapy water, then rinsing when I pull them out. In theory, this is a great idea, but I have been using more and more lightweight foam pots to save my back. Foam pots float :-) I've been settling for allowing them to float sort of sideways and rotating the pot so all areas are submerged at some point for 30 minutes. We'll see if this helps with fungus gnats. I only have the 4 biggest left to do today, I got 8 smaller pots yesterday.

I had egg salad for my breakfast too. j Just a half sandwich. I was in a rush to get out the door to go ride. Passed the 90 mile mark in the virtual race today today! 10 more left. So proud of my school horse. We're sad it's coming to an end.

Paint: I would wait on selecting a color until you have your furniture and accessories chosen. The present color (in picture anyway) feels washed out and a creamy white would be more modern and crisp. - Built in‘s/tv location: with the width on both sides of fireplace being different, you’ll have to configure bookcases accordingly, if going that route. Suggest holding off on making a mantle change until you figure out wall - try to envision whole wall in your decisions Really like look below - Seating layout: really like your inspiration picture and as per the layout, centre to fireplace. If space in front of window feels bare, you could add the console table there vs behind couch as you enter

What a spectacular house and setting! No, I wouldn’t paint the cedar shakes. The natural look is perfect with this color scheme.

We don't have central air, but do have a couple of window air conditioners, thank goodness.

Good morning.
It's 84.6Âº here at 9:00am with an expected high of 101Âº.
I met Dorothy at a local cafÃ© for breakfast this morning. I only ate a small amount as it wasn't very tasty. Our usual eating place is closed for 2 weeks. They do that every summer since the owners are from Mexico and they go back home to visit. This year they are taking an extra week to put down new ceramic tile and do some other remodeling to the cafÃ©. Dorothy, Lisa and I plan to go shopping to get them a gift for the new look.
I have nothing planned for today. will stay home and maybe clean off my book shelf. I've been planning to do that for weeks now.

Good morning. We're already in the 80's this morning with too much humidity..whew!

I got out early to do some watering. Still need to eat something and do some laundry.

There's plenty to do around here, the trick is pushing myself to get it done. :(

Hope everyone can stay as cool as possible today.
