Let the Sunshine In
The sun means business today. The boxelder bugs are basking in it.
Today, Dennis’ daughter Sandy and Tom came out from Mankato. I knew what the visit was for. Sandy had sent pictures plus dimensions of a skirt she wanted to go around the raised base of their wash machine that sits over the floor drain.
I pulled out fabric for it and that is as far as I had gone and was going to go. Watching her as she used the rotary cutter was like watching someone use a chainsaw for the first time. She cut through the multiple layers of the 93 inches as I knew I couldn’t. I wound the bobbin and threaded the machine. Believe me, it was more difficult watching her go through the paces than running the machine myself. She got it done and felt very proud of herself. All she needed to do was run 1/2″ elastic through the top casing when she got home.
Tom took with them all of the empty plastic dry litter containers. He works with concrete and the jugs are just the right size for water for hand and and tool cleanup.
I had a great phone call from Sharon. The Sharon that lives in the north country in a sweet “shed-house” with her daughter and family. Always a treat to swap air-time.
The afternoon has left both Dennis and me kicking back for some quiet time. Hmm. The dreaded word . . . “supper” has not been mentioned yet. I think I will let the clock run on this and see where it takes us. Life lived vicariously!
With that I will take my leave. ♥
