The Kitchen Table

Today!

10 years ago

Been a dreary, rainy, at times very rainy day.

Pic from my front porch and in the distance is The Summit, large shopping center, that I can see clearly most days.

It has been raining here on and off all day with high gusty winds. My power went out around 6pm and when I called it in, they said there were fifty people without power at that time. Fortunately, it isn't super cold out tonight. Hope it is on by morning!

It was so dark off and on today that the street lights came on a couple of times.

Kate, almost everything I do on my phone is a exercise in frustration. Web sites don't work well, neither do search engines. Sometimes I try to do things on the web when I'm in my recliner but almost always end up getting up and going to the computer to get it done right. Landlines work way better for calls, though not portable. But frankly, I don't want people bugging me when I'm out and about unless I'm going to the store and my wife or kids call me to add to the list. My phone is mainly for texting and that is all. Regrettably I've had to use the phone part more since this stupid lock down to call a business [medical] to tell them I'm here. It is silly in my case anyway since I can't wear a mask [nor would I if I could]. I'm glad it works for you, though.

Great finds! I miss antique stores. I have bought a couple antique items on etsy/ebay, but we have a new antique mall in a town nearby and I am ITCHING TO GO. I have brought home a few items (antiques) from my parent's house. I brought home a small wood stool just yesterday! Good luck on your cushion - the room looks great!

Hahah! Reminds me of the joke where the cop pulls the guy over and asks him to get out of the car. He replies, "I'm too drunk to get out...why don't you get in instead?"

IMO you have gone way past any thought of Victorian bathroom which BTW is not a good plan in 21st century. If that is the exterior wall where is the insulation or is this now the interior wal after an addition. You are using really contemporary sinks that are all wrong for the style you wish to use , The medicine cabinet not right with anything Victorian for sure Stop now and really think about how to honor your style but do it with knowing we do not live in Victorian times. Google Victorian bathroom makeovers before you really waste money . The wall is kind of fun but they were never meant to ve exposed and if not insulated no way IMO You need to go back to the planning stage

Glenda, my sister and I refer to a cool, dark day as a "chicken soup kind of day." I remind her of this whenever I can, because she makes the world's most delicious chicken soup! Our weather is seriously turning cold and wintery, so lots of chicken soup days in our future.

I finally had my hubby close the den curtains as I was so tired of seeing the dreary rainy day. Its been like that all day here in the Atlanta area. At our house we did get some rain earlier this evening but it soon was gone and now its light rain. Hopefully we will see the sun tomorrow.

It must be raining all over the whole U.S. The weather people are threatening 6+ inches of snow on Friday. Bah! Humbug!

Don't judge me but I'm complaining because of the high 80s temp here in Florida. I feel just as stuck in the house as you folks. High humidity along with the temperature make it so miserable to go out. Haven't been out in a couple of days.

We had that day, the day before Glenda and you all. Yesterday was nice an sunny, but very windy. I went on a bike ride with Mel... 28 miles. It was nice enough for shorts.

Today sure is different from yesterday. The rain is gone and it's sunny with clear blue skies. It's still windy though. I bet you can see the Summit today.
