We're making a date to take the dogs to the pool this afternoon. It needed some work, filling and "shock" apparently, because the pump had shut down. I don't know about pool stuff so Susie is having her son look into it. The high today is predicted to hit 103, so a 3pm pool date sounds perfect for the pooches.

Every so often I pull out issues of Martha Stewart Living that had great room design or decorating ideas and look to see if there is as little as one small idea to take and use here at my house. It's time to look for a few of those ideas again. As I move stuff in the sun room, I can start to make parts of it look interesting with some small display or thing on the wall, whatever.

Michelle, I hope you're feeling better soon. I've also had sinus discomfort lately - not sure if it's allergies or something more, but so far using the neti pot has helped.
