Knock

Hi,
The forecast called for rain but the rain never came. Tonight we had lots of lightning, but no rain. It's a lot cooler than yesterday and that's nice.
I can't believe no one knows this song. Not one reply. And I thought the clues were pretty good. Guess not. Here's a little more:
"I've been loved, pushed, (put) aside. I've been crushed by tumbling tide and my soul has been psychedelicized. Now the time has come there are things to realize. __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __" Clue: There's a cowbell in this one, that plays a prominent role, tick tock.
We had a pretty busy day today. The morning mission was to search for bed frames for the master and guest rooms and find a dining room table with seating for eight. We'd seen some real nice sets, but for six. Our first stop was a good one. We found a great deal on the beds in just the color wood we were looking for. As a bonus, they had a cool little couch that converted into a bed. That will go in the music room, just in case.
We had a three o'clock appointment with Mon, the woman who's going to do our window treatments. She came to the house and then we all went out to the property to look at the windows. Well, the windows aren't actually in yet, but she had a chance to measure everything and get a feel for the place. The Place was bustling with activity. Most of the wall tile was installed in our bathroom, the floor was almost done in the guest room and the guest bathroom wall was in progress. Now it's coming together. All those trips back and forth to the tile store were worth it. Work had also begun on the wiring and the frames were being installed for the ceilings. They consist of an aluminum grid that is then covered with drywall. Another crew was painting the wood trim on the outside and yet another group was working on the pool. Whew. Enough to make the head spin.
After the trip to The Place we went back home and poured over huge sample books, trying to find fabrics for curtains and blinds. Mon met us later and confirmed our choices. Tomorrow we'll go to her shop and look at more stuff. We also have to go back to the property and choose colors for the tile grout. Who knew? This should be interesting.
I don't know if it has to do with the new motorbike helmet law or not, but there were police checks all over town. One cop was standing in the street at an intersection, checking for helmets and registration. Hmm.
Well, go out there and have a Great Thursday.

Peace,
Danny
