Sometimes it seems that time really passes so quickly and then the other when it just hangs around. This past week was here for such a short time for me. The other day I began to move a shelf from one room to another and of course there were little holes in the wall. I ask Glenda and Don what I needed
to fix this issue and Don came and gave me a lesson in how to fill in the screw holes, how to lock in the drill bit and then drill the new holes for the shelf. Seeing Denny do this in the past does not mean I knew how to do it, now I
The Ladies now have moved and seem quite happy.
Now I have 2 other shelves to be hung and new holes to patch. You would think with all the screws that are in the garage I would have the 4 that I need...no, of course not. Off to Ace Hardware I will go for supplies.
Yesterday was the day to remove Denny form a few accounts and then to reestablish in my name. One of the places required that I go to the mall. Perfect I thought and I will go to Macy's to replace my Top Siders. Little did I know that Macy's no longer sell them in store only on line. But, I did find
Keds in a style like the Top Siders and so comfy and on sale which was a nice surprise. Off I ventured to see what else I could find and to my delight I actually got 2 shirts for free. I had to go through Sears to get to the car and there I saw a denim shirt that was on sale and when the gal rang it up there were "store points" that amounted to the sale price so = free. I was leaving but saw another top and the same thing happened. A good shopping trip indeed. Have I mentioned that The Brother Alan is arriving in 10 days?
We are in a cool down with the temps expected to be only 95 today and a 40% chance of rain. I am sure this comes at a price .... humidity. Today I hope to sit with Alice and make more progress. It is moving slowly with the current motif so if I can pass this one I know it will move on. Nice to chat with you today. Thank you for visiting and for the kind words. Most of all thank you for your friendship. The count down is 10 days.
So sorry for those in the path of the hurricanes and the other terrible weather related storms. No matter where we are there are weather issues that we must deal with. Keeping you all in my thoughts...stay safe.

Foe everyone who is impacted (or has loved ones) by any of the storms or fires, be strong, you are in our prayers
Enjoy the weekend, Gracie!
You are becoming quite the DIY expert! It is useful to know how to do these little jobs. Of course you never have exactly the right screws no matter how many you own. I guess it's like stitching, no matter how much stash you have, you will never have the right fabric in the right count!
Is the Brother Alan coming? LOL You might have mentioned it!
Your new shoes are so nice Gracie. Great shopping trip!! wOw!
Great to see you trying DIY A good job done.You will be looking forward to seeing your brother and planning outings and jobs for him:) Have a good week Gracie.
Hi gracie , well done on the DIY .
Not long for Alan to visit.
Have a lovely Sunday hugs
The shelf with the "ladies" looks really good.
That's what I would call a successful shopping trip :))))
Good morning Gracie...nice job getting the ladies situated. I actually like doing rearranging like that.
I love when you get unexpected deals and feel like you've gotten so much for your money. Awesome scores 😊
Well enjoy your Sunday and happy your count down is getting lower!!!XO
Hi, Grace! Sounds like you'll soon be sporting a handyman tool belt like Tim the Toolman Taylor. You go, Girl!
Hugs
