$3.99 worth of cheerfulness

October 18th, 2009 at 05:03 pm

is what I see in these beautiful fresh-cut alstroemerias from Fred Meyer. I am here in ID, enjoying the quiet solitude since dh stayed in CA. I arrived late Wednesday night and the next morning headed to the local store for fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers. Back in CA I have a bounty of houseplants, some with flowers, but here... nothing. So I buy flowers and will enjoy them for the week. Once we move here permanently, there will be plants... all over. DD2 and SIL take care of our house and I will not ask them to add plant care as well. So for now, cut flowers will do.


On Saturday, the handyman came as arranged to sand, stain, and seal the front door. The trim around the glass was peeling and although the door wasn't as bad, it got thrown into the deal. It cost $120 and I think this was a fair price, considering it took about ~3 hours and he provided the materials. The house is only 3 years old but the afternoon sun hits the door directly. Hopefully the new paint job will last more than three years. The smell of the fumes was so intense I had to open front and back doors, deal with a headache, and now go catch a few flies.
