The old weed whacker is beyond repair. PopPop has been trying to fix it for a few weeks and finally declared it a dead stick. Queenee, Key Dear and I got him a new one, like the ones they use at the golf course, and gave it to him yesterday afternoon as an early Father's Day present. He's been playing with it since. It seems to start easily and it cuts whatever it comes up against. He's a happy camper.
Queenee and Key Dear have been out hitting the yard sales. Since Key Dear has her truck here, she may as well take a load home, right? She's hoping to find a vanity/desk that she can use in one of the bathrooms. She found just the thing yesterday, but it was grossly overpriced, so the search continues.
I saw a bald eagle late yesterday afternoon. I was looking out the back windows toward the pond, and there he was, big as life, just beyond our tall trees in the back yard. We know there are bald eagles in the general area, but I've never seen one here, so it was exciting. For me, anyway.
If I wasn't dump picking I would have been home to see the eagle! LOL...
ReplyDeleteWe have them in the Keys and they are a magnificent bird. I did find a dresser, a little side table, cushions for my 10 buck sofa that I've had for 7 yrs, now bringing the value to 12 bucks! Found a great old fan, small wall mirror and some little reading lamps... IKEA blew my mind, ya'll should be ashamed to have that at your disposal! I'm jealous. But... alas... I'm redoing my main floor bathroom and need a vanity to put my sink on!!! I'm running out of time..
Oh, and can that Pop POP weedwhack!! You think I'm a tornado he's a real pisser! We've got some projects done and he's still going and going.. Weather is finally nice today.. Saturday.
