 Think I'll finish the windows today...whew! Then I'm going in town to workout and meet my weight room buddies for lunch at a Mexican place. And then on to my fabric search. I haven't been around because I've decided to redo our dining room chairs. I found a guy who will dip and refinish the wood frames and I have been searching for some decent and not excessively expensive fabric. Goodness, that is not easy here as I want something very contemporary...a texture, no flowers or stripes or geometric. Nothing to fight with what we have on the walls. I found a place that upholsters boat and car seats and they have some alternatives that actually have UV protection in some decent fabric that doesn't break the bank. So, I'll check another place here in town today. I've checked online but would rather buy local. Would you believe a local place here charges $90 plus a yard for Robert Allen fabric. I did find a Robert Allen outlet online selling some bolt ends for $20 plus!!! Why does this have to be so difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Good think I'm not allergic to cats as I woke up with 3 of them on my bed this morning. Bill only had one HA HA He said he was getting jealous. Cousin will be coming later today. Heard the coyotes howling last night. Wonder what they found. You definitely don't go for a midnight stroll around here.  |

Will coyotes eat people?
I believe the cartoon guy's name was SuperStretch Suzie, and he hung out with a teeny tiny sidekick called MicroWoman.

They have been know to take small animals and even a child sitting on the porch. My friend in Palm Springs was walking down a pthway and came face to face with one, but he very slowly back tracked and walked away Phew!

Around here the coyotes are still very wild and leary of humans...they keep their distance. Have been known to lure dogs...no attacks on humans, tho. We have a fairly large pack...they'll take down an old or very young Elk if they can.
Just finished the screens and washing the insides of the window casings. Found a yellow jacket trying to find a safe place in the casings...along with various spiders. Didn't do the screens or casings last year...so glad to get it all done this year.
Suzie, I leave those tall ones for the tall guy...but even he has to use a ladder!!!
