Hi,
There’s no question about it. It’s getting hot. We’re having clear skies, light breezes and hot sun. Today’s high was reportedly 85F. Now we wait for the pool to warm up.
Some of you remembered the ‘Easy Monday’ song rather quickly. Here’s the first verse for the rest of you:
“Lord, we don’t need another mountain. There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb, there are oceans and rivers enough to cross, enough to last until the end of time. __ __ __ __ __, is love sweet love. It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of….” Clue: The singer knows the way to San Jose.
Today was a big day for us. We went to HomePro and got a new refrigerator. This one is much bigger than the one we’ve been using and will make life a lot easier in terms of storing and finding what we have. The staff was very helpful during our deliberations. One of the guys helping us pointed out the difference in power consumption between two models of similar size. Nice call. While the paperwork was being filled out, I went light-bulb shopping. Oh, so many choices in that store. Lighting is labeled with the actual wattage and the ‘what it looks like’ wattage. You can buy a 40 watt bulb that gives the brightness of 130, as an example. Then you have to choose ‘warm light’ or ‘daylight white’. Some rooms are better suited to the warm light, and others need the daylight. Now I have to get out the changing pole and start installing some brighter lights.
This afternoon we went to a video production shop to get some DVDs copied. I also took a reel-to-reel tape to see if they could copy it to a CD. Sadly, they didn’t have a machine to play the tape. In fact, the young man was a little surprised that I had even asked. He looked at the tape, then at me and asked, ‘Songs?’. I have a few more places that might be able to steer me in the right direction. I’m hoping to find a recording studio that might have an old machine from the Dark Ages that can help me out. (555)
We got lots of mail today, and that is unusual. The best mail of all was a package from Tatt. He sent all of us presents. Inside the box were presents for Cat, Blue, Lisa and me. He had wrapped them all himself. Blue, Lisa and I all received incense collections. He also sent us a beautiful ‘runner’ that is usually placed across the end of a bed. We don’t know what Cat’s gift is since she is at her village until tomorrow, but it’s different from ours. Today’s photo is one of the boxes he sent.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
