Depature
The Curry clan departed St. James at nine this morning. Anything that could have been planned for Dennis’ journey had been taken care of pretty much before we went to bed.
My first objective this morning after the quiet settled in was to call the Watson Boys. Yesterday when I had gone into the studio, there was a trail of water stemming from the corner of the basement where all the goodies that could leak are found. The rug in front of the toilet got rolled up and is positioned by the floor drain to leach out as mush water as possible before I put it in a pail for the outside bench. Brandon Watson said he would be on it, so there was no need for me to worry about it. At first I had thought is was from a back-wash of the PVC drain of the softener when it had recharged. When I did try a sponge mop, I could clearly see in the reflection from the ceiling light that there was indeed water traveling ever so slightly towards the floor drain. I didn’t mention anything yesterday . . . what would have been the point. It will all be taken care of.
Many decades ago, mom and dad had put together albums for all four of us kids with what they felt would be a good reference of generations long ago. Over time the sticky surface to hold the photos in place had dried out. When the cover of the album opened it could easily unleash a lot of loose photos. During these last weeks I had been working on photos. The one large album I had taken apart still had some room for more to be added. This project that had been niggling me is now done and the older album is in the recycling.
As of this afternoon, I have one double sash window cleaned inside and out. When Dennis had washed the house off, one could hardy see between the water spots. I like being able to stand in my bedroom porch and tackle a window. When the sun sinks lower in the west, I am sure there will be some streaks showing up, but they will be clean streaks. I went on to do the storm door leading to the front deck. Between wasps and Asian beetles, I didn’t waste any time.
So comes to a close the first of a few days where its all about me, myself and I.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
