Rained last night and this morning and just quit so everything is fresh again. The ants found our strawberry patch so we are doing war with them now. We don't grow things for the critters to enjoy them ~ they have plenty other stuff to get into.
Too bad ole Ragg Mopp can't just chase them off like he does the bunnies that come into the yard. Will is going around spackeling spots in the walls ~ gonna paint the whole inside and yank the carpet up out my office/shop and replace it with that wood like flooring that you can't hurt. I am excited about getting new floring mainly for my glass works. I am sure little shards of glass have worked their way down into this carpet around my cutting station. That is just the way of it, can't be helped. We got the new window coverings up in the bedroom yesterday and they sure do look good. When we get the headboard in there it will tie it all together nicely. Then we will shop for a new dresser. JEAN I am glad you had such a nice fun filled day with your school chums. Isn't it nice to be appreciated. Your little coffee pot sounds like a keeper. Nope no stale water allowed. Is there a way you can dump it instead of having to put it in the firdge though?
DONNA FAYE I am so very happy for you for the swelling going down finally. That must be a good feeling for sure. Yep, it isn't easy to de carb but necessary and the way it should be. I only have 5 more days to get through and ya know, this isn't the hardest thing I have ever had to do so I know I can get through this. And girlfriend, if I can do it you can for I am the worlds worst at it. I sure miss my fruit though.
But I think the first thing I will actually bake is going to be a loaf of whole wheat bread.SUSAN Hope your day is going well. I know you will enjoy your farmers market when it opens. We are going to check out the one here when it does for I am sure it will have some items that we aren't growing. Our sredder makes little squares of the paper. Lots of little squares that are not easy to put back into pages. Everybody needs a shredder. I remember when my boss shredded something by mistake and wanted it pasted back together. Since it was back when shredders did it in long strips I said I would put it back if it was the only thing in the shredder basket. It was and I did it.

I have to run to the bank and get graduation money for Bob's graduates. Some of the small towns had their's last weekend, but I do all the cards at once and mail them in time for the graduation here.
There is always one plus cup of water in the enclosed part of the coffee maker. It won't pump out unless the water tank has a certain amount of water in it which pumps into the heater as coffee is being made. I run a cup of plain (stale) water first thing before I make coffee. I could pour the water in the tank out, but since I have room in the fridge just keep it in there; water is expensive here! Our monthly water bill runs about $47 a month (no garbage collection) -- actually it is the sewage rate that is high thanks to 2 packing plants who get a "break."
I do think Jack would appreciate one for Father's Day! I do enjoy DWTS this time because I knew some of the stars. I have watched one or two previous shows and didn't know as many. I guess since Beth took dance for so many years I just enjoy the costumes and seeing how much the stars improve. I think this one should be a 3 way tie because they are all so good. I used to watch Survivor but got burned out on that one after the first couple of shows.
