Visiting Galore

 Businesses are open this morning after the long weekend so Scott has pumped up the tire and Reta and I are off to town. I'll drop her at the seniors' residence to do some visiting while I take the tire to the repair shop. Once the car's road-ready again we'll scurry home, where I'll be making my MEXICAN SOUP and waiting for Cathy B to arrive in time for lunch.

But at the moment, Reta is washing breakfast dishes and I'm about to pour my second cup of coffee. Rain has been forecast for two or three days but none has materialized, so I've set the sprinkler on the flower garden for now, till we leave for town.

Aunt Reta prepares to take some pictures to take home to Phoenix.
Ducky has found a new cuddler.
The handles for the kitchen cabinets are supposed to be delivered to Wynyard at the end of the week. We're looking forward to getting those on. The tabs Scott made with masking tape tend to tear off and he insists it has something to do with the way I pull on them. I think if he opened those doors and drawers as many times in a day as I do, they'd rip off for him, too, so Back Off! I say, and carry on my merry way.

  1. Looks like you are having a lovely visit!

    If there are holes in the cupboards and drawers for the hardware you could use knotted string as pulls, I've done that a few times!

    1. Good idea. Won't be holes till the pulls get here though, so Scott knows where to put them.

  2. P.S. I love the colour of your walls in the kitchen/dining room!

    1. Thanks! I was going for a colour similar to the one we had in our house when I was a teen; I always loved it. Also, our windows face north, so I wanted something very light.

    2. Ducky has been in heaven and is in withdrawal now that Reta has gone to stay for a few days with my aunt in Margo.
