I wanted to finish the sealer on the deck today, but got a little rain. Just enough to put an end to that job. We live in the edge of the woods and this green gunk eventually turns the deck green. So, I dragged out the pressure washer last week and got it all cleaned off. We need the rain, but didn't get enough to really do much for the lawn which is getting crunchy. At least, I'm not having to mow now. When I opened the blinds in the bedroom this morning and the dust began to fly around, I decided I'd better clean in there. So, I've washed the blinds, washed the curtains, cleaned the windows, dusted and vacuumed. I feel like I've earned a rest. I'm not going to observe "Labor" Day all day long. Joyce

That's what happened here to ,Joyce just enought rain that you can't work outside. I had been doing the top to botten cleaning for the past two weeks with other odd jobs thrown in for good measure. Had that all done except for the basement and den. Got the den paneling cleaned Friday and pictures washed and back up then had a birthday party Saturday and Labor Day cook out so had to clean up from all that. Wanted to clean carpet in den today and shampoo den couch and chair. But had too much company to get anything done except the furniture shampooed and did finally get some of the wash on the line. School back in session tomorrow and a work day so everyone will be gone will shampoo the carpet tomorrow and finish the wash.

I wish I could decorate cakes..... ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancy M.

We have hay down and two wet to rake. Hubby got the little tractor out and went down and mowed or knocked down the grass at a neighbors yard. They only come in twice a year, spring and fall. The rest of the time we have to keep it mowed, well did not get to it this summer at all. I came home and decorated (very simple decorations) on a birthday for a guy at work. I usually try to find something out about the person, but this guy is very quiet and we know virtually nothing about what he likes etc. He listens to music via his cell phone, so I drew a cell phone and ear plug. That is about all I could come up with. One other time the gal I did the cake for likes Lite Beer so I drew a beer can and filled it in like the actual can. She loved it. Now if I could find time to get the vacuum cleaner run and the cat hair cleaned up I would be a happy camper, but I am too tired tonight to get it done and probably not tomorrow either.
