ahhhh . . .
Thanks to Himself's brother, Ronnie, we have a new shower enclosure. I think Ronnie might have been embarrassed by the skimpiness of our old shower (open air) so he had this luxurious version sent to us. It has a shower caddy, a rain hood, a towel bar. Himself and I put it up this weekend (Himself, mostly) and after almost 90 degree temps and working out in the hot sun and amongst visiting mosquitoes and maybe ticks, we both partook of the shower Saturday evening. Ahhh. so nice. Thank you, Ronnie.
We had a bit of a short weekend at III. Himself headed over fairly early. I had to go back to Lineville and buy the washstand I have been wanting. I cannot remember who had one or where I saw it but somewhere in my childhood someone had a washstand with a linoleum-covered top. This one has one small shelf for the washbowl and a larger area for the chamber pot. I saw it Friday afternoon but the owner wasn't around so all I could do was think about it overnight. I made up my mind, on the way there, that I wouldn't pay over $20.00 for it as the door stuck and the paint was peeling. When I caught up to the owner and asked him innocently if it were for sale, imagine my surprise when he named his price. $2.00! I was so delighted that I bought a chair from him too. $3.00. And I will be able to cane the seat sometime when I have more time on my hands. So, between the shower tent and the washstand, I had a fine weekend. We had to leave early Sunday tho to get back home, as family matters called. We were both totally wiped out from all the fresh air and exercise. Oh and work.
Himself, thanks for the good weekend and for the outhouse! and Ronnie, thanks for the shower.
