The kitchen table is almost clear, the peninsula is looking better, and the tall table has less clutter. Not finished, but better. I'm thinking about having a friend over for some caprese salad and a bottle of reisling. I think I owe her a couple of meals by now. We may also make a pie, because she has struggled with making crusts.
I've signed off of the 10" Amazon Fire tablet and spent time this evening moving files to the Samsung tablet, including setting up the Adobe Digital editions permissions. (Years ago @BatGoddess told us about the free digital books from the University of Chicago every month. I don't often read the whole book, but I try to download each, they always sound interesting.) See if this gets you to this month's free book. Adobe Digital Editions is free to set up, and it is an authorization platform for downloading and reading these books. It works great on a tablet or smartphone. I should have gotten the non-Amazon tablet a long time ago - they look great but are really limited in what they can do other than offer Amazon products.
In the garage today I dug around for the existing fence hardware that I kept after dismantling the old gate that was here when I moved in (we took the fence apart to build the new garage behind it.) I have the brackets for a new post (if I put up a gate) and I have heavy duty hinges for the gate. The latch isn't the best one to use in this spot, so that might have to be new.
