Ready for a Home Depot apron

The rain fell this weekend.... I know, a shock, but it did not last too long. Some is better than none. Of course as usual it was in darkness which does not settle well with me. Who knows when it will happen again. I managed to get out to the garden early on Sunday and clean the fountain. This time it took a little longer to reassemble…. just could not get the threaded part to line up. Some choice words and finally back together and bubbling. All is good.
Think I am going to get myself a Home Depot apron...like Bobby wears! Fix-it gal at it again!
This small wing nut seems to be the answer. This weekend the air conditioner filter began to rattle at the end of a run cycle. I just knew that with all the "things" in the work cupboard in the garage, Denny would have just what I needed. I have learned to look there before running to buy. Indeed there was this wing nut and I replaced the one on the vent door and so far all is good. I did not mis-step on the step ladder either!  I even found time to begin a project.
Another Mill Hill kit.... a dragonfly. Some years ago I bought several of them and had made only 2.
When I went to gather them to choose one to make, one of the kits is missing a large bead for the eye and the pin back. I could care less about the pin back but now I need to buy 2 new beads for the eyes. I could contact Mill Hill to buy a match for the one I have but it would probably cost more for the shipping!
Mom, Eva P is not feeling very well so please keep her in your thoughts.  I thank you for all the good thoughts for her and for Don and Glenda. Glad you visited today. Thank you for your kind words and for you friendship.

The dragonfly looks really pretty but annoying about the large bead though. I hope your mum improves Grace.

Oh how nice to see that you are making one of your dragonflies again. I have Don, Glenda and your Mom in my prayers Gracie. Have a good day my friend!

The Dragon flies are so cute. Will be fun to see your project progress. Sorry to hear about your Mom, hope things improve for her. You're quite good at fixing things, and should wear one of those aprons. If you do, be sure and take a picture for us.

I will send you some beads maybe they will be the right size, I will drop them in the mail today, keep what does not work, I hope one of them at least is the right size.
