Right on, Raging Grannies!!

You all sound very busy and productive, just watch out for the toes, eh?

I didn't get any sleep last night until about 430a, so I slept in for the first time in years...got up about 845a. We puttered around, geting breakfast and i did a load of laundry. Rog took the car to get the oil changed and bought a tarp and tie-downs for the truck when we fill it with the driveway stuff, but when he got back, I needed to get out of the house, so we left to run other errands. We looked at light fixtures at Habitat for Humanity's "Restore" but didn't like any of them. We want to put a new one in the kitchen, which will shine in all the dark corners and get rid of the huge, ineffective ceiling fan cum light. We'll take out time and find something that will work well and not cost too much.

Morgan came over in the afternoon to help me plant some trailing verbena in a pot with another plant I can't remember the name of at the moment. He also helped me put away a few little things which had accumulated this week. Still haven't done the taxes...I have a mental block about them...disappointed they won't be much from the looks of it.:-<

OH! Did do a HUGE thing with Morgan...almost forgot. I've had a four drawer rolling plastic drawer thing for the office for years. For at least ten years it's basically been in storage, in a closet or shed where I really didn't have access. I was having fun finding old keys for Morgan today when I realised it was time to actually tackle clearing it out. (I knew there were keys in it.) It took some effort and grumbling on Rog's part, but he got it out to the LR for us and we had a blast cleaning it out. I filled a tall kitchen trash can with old stuff and saved a few things, plus Morgan now has the lowest drawer, empty, ready for his use in the office which will help with that clutter. That felt so good, a real accomplishment and Morgan is thrilled with his own keychain which jangles! He's even got a carabiner(sp) to hang them from his belt loop like "Papa."
