Bananas? Really?

January 24, 2020

Good morning.  Tis sunny and 35F degrees today.  The temperature may go up a few more degrees by mid afternoon.  According to my phone app, daytime temps for the next few days should be in the forties.  That will be a nice welcome.

Well, I don't know if yesterday's scammer came by for the check, but a stranger did come by.  I did not answer the knock on the door.  I did scoot out to the kitchen in the main part of the house and look out a window to get the license plate number.  Just in case.  Folks in the house know not to let this person in should he ever come back.

The rest of my day was rather quiet.  I went through a lot of junk mail and magazines and got rid of a lot of it.  Late afternoon, Kevin and Eddie came by to finish putting in a new outlet.  This is an old house, and putting in electrical outlets can be very tricky.  Thank goodness, my SIL and grandson are both very good electricians.  Thank you, guys. 

I thought I would share another new book that I've acquired.  This one is put out by Reader's Digest.  It's called "Easy Fixes" and is chock full of all kinds of ways to repair your stuff.  (taken right off the cover.)

Here's a little snippet from the book.  I'll try to post one or two of them every now and then.  I might add that when disposing of those plastic bags, do cut the handles so that no animals can get caught in them.  Thank you.

I did a bit more crocheting last evening, and now I only have six more rows to go to finish the red and black afghan.  Woo Hoo!  I think before I tackle the navy blue one, I'll work on my tax stuff for a bit.  I'd like to at least get expenses into columns ready to be added.  After that, I can make an appointment with my accountant.  At least, that's the plan.

Last night, I watched Project Runway and I swear, designs are getting really wonky nowadays.  The wonkier the design, the more the judges seem to love it.  Last night's challenge was to make fashionable clothing using fabric designed by artist, Ashley Longshore. 

Some of the artist's fabric designs were okay, but others had rather delicate unmentionable body parts  splashed all over it.  Most of the designers made beautiful and respectable outfits, while others played up the fabric patterns.  Sad to say, but I am so disappointed in what was my favorite TV Program. 

Since the new host, Karlie Kloss, has taken over hosting the show, fashion styles and guest judges have taken on a new flavor.  And not always a good one.  This does make me sad because I've always loved fashion design.

Ah well, I'm off now to watch the rest of "In The Heat Of The Night."  (on MeTV)  So, till Sunday, Y'all have a fantabulous weekend. 

Hugs, Edna B.
