Dorothy, I knew I had a box of bungee cords I bought at Lowe's last fall, but couldn't find them anywhere, including several passes through the pantry. On several occasions. So I bought a new box of bungees from Lowe's and left them beside the back door. And guess what - this week I found the first box of bungees. In the pantry. Now both boxes are there, side by side. I climbed a ladder to replace a couple on the patio cover before storing them.

I pulled up a video for the peel and stick tiles and see there is a step I need to do first - paint on some latex sealer on the bare concrete. I picked that up today, but I was going to do the tiles piecemeal and I can't really do that if I have to paint something first (I have to finish scrubbing the floor and there is some old adhesive to scrape off.) Not sure when I'll finish this, but not in time for company this week.

I'll do some baking so I have plenty of breakfast and snack materials. I'll make zucchini bread into cupcakes (easier for portion control) and I picked up some cream to use to make rice pudding. I've been buying the little cups of the Mexican pudding and it's so good, but it's also expensive that way. Rice, custard, and cinnamon. Mmmmm.
