My husband bought this faucet on-line about a year and a half ago. About one year ago he promised he would install it while I was away. About once a month, I remind him that it is still laying on the living room floor in its box. What was his problem? He was afraid he’d screw it up. I reminded him that he can afford to have a plumber do it and that there is a decent one in town. Well…. He called him on Monday and today we have a new faucet! Yea!!
I always have too many books and magazines on my end table. I get ideas and go digging for stuff to help me decide and I have even more on my table. I try to clean it off once a month, but it’s more apt to be two or three. I was very surprised at the number of catalogues that I had every intension of looking through and never did. Why do I get them? Some, like Patternworks, I haven’t bought from for ten years. Most I also get e-mails from. It makes me crazy.
At least it’s not raining any more. We had some flooding in the yard. I am so glad we had our bulkhead done a foot higher than the rest.
Cora had a grand time. She was outside most of the day. Now, she’s sound asleep on the living room rug.
Here she is checking out some geese.

Jenn and I went up to PA today. It rained off and on and it was cooler, but we still had a good time. We bought lots of great food, had a very nice lunch and found neat stuff at the thrift shop. What more is there?
I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it on the day before Thanksgiving, so i did it today. I puttered around the house for a while, and even ironed a shirt for my son. I finally went out around noon. My first stop was the Joanne’s where I bought Christmas decorations and a magazine. If I remember, I’ll talk about the magazine another time. Then I rode over to Weber’s to buy Winesap apples and four gallons of cider. We’ve tried many cider’s and Weber’s is the best. I also bought cheese bread.
Finally I went to the cemetery. I put a little heart and a tiny sparkly tree each on Nannie and Pop’s graves. For my Louie, I had a little Santa and little presents, the same little heart and tree and a gold star. I told them about the past year’s doings. When I got in my car, I rode past twice, just to make sure it all looked good. I made my way over to the office. I wanted to know where my friend, Ray, was buried. I had a little heart for him, too.
Oh, my. That’s all I can say right know.
I couldn’t help myself. Doug wanted to get new Reebok. There is one style that he really likes so we went to the outlets by Rehoboth. He bought two pairs. I went over to Fossil. I was going to look at wallets, which I did, but I saw a beautiful purse that I had to have. Also, I got 20% off. I guess I’ll have to take a picture. I also bought a pair of Skechers and slippers at LL Bean. I did a lot better than when I went to Vernon Powell last week.
Next, we went to BJs. They had the yogurt I wanted, but not the dish detergent. I bought a big bag of Honeycrisp apples so I’m happy. When we got home, Doug ate two pieces of raisin bread so I had one, too. I wound up making pot stickers and mixed vegetables for supper.
The damp, chilly air is getting to me and it’s dark by the time I start fixing supper. Last week there were leaves on the trees.
Now, there’s hardly any leaves left. I can’t stand it.
I was going to blog every day this month, but I’ve all ready blown that. I never even gave it a thought yesterday. I can use the excuse that I was out most of the day, but I didn’t leave until almost 2PM and I was home by 830. I’m still working on baby socks. I’ve got three and a half pairs finished. I also have another sock kit to make.
I went back to the urologist yesterday. I had no idea it was possible to put all that up a person’s bladder. I’ve got to go back in a month. This time I was given a gel to try. It’s not supposed to have the side effects. We’ll see. I hate the ‘try this, try that’ business.
It’s very windy today. I could have spent the day sitting on my neighbor’s pier out on the river. It was so beautiful. Some of the waves were so hard that it felt like someone or something was kicking the pier.
The girls loved chasing the leaves. They were out all day.
Cora found it safer to sit on the railing.
It was only in the mid fifties when we went for our walk today. I guess Autumn is finally here. Can Winter be far behind? At least I have plenty of warm socks. I was looking at my sock yarn this morning, trying to decide which one to use next. I have also been looking at shawl patterns to use the lace weight yarn I bought at Knitter’s Nest. It was hard to drag myself back to the baby socks. I finished one sock of the third pair of baby socks. I finished cutting all the pieces for the small quilt and started sewing. Can I get any more boring?
So I have been enjoying the sunshine while it lasts. Tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be warm again. The cats are happy, too. Zip doesn’t like rain.
Especially when the others laugh at him.
