I remember BB saying in a previous post that in 21 days it had rainned all but 4 days..well this must be the weather we are having..

It's poured all night and it looks like today will be more of the same. DH called a little while ago to say he was on his way home, miserable driving in all this, will be glad when he gets here.

Went out to dinner with my sister last night, had fun always do with her, Came home and watched Trading Spaces...one the designers, was doing over this large bathroom...she stapled 6000 artificial flowers to this bathroom's walls..she was so thrilled with herself...even if it had looked good, cannot imagine how you would keep that clean.

Do any of you watch "While You Were Out"...just love that Andrew Dan-Jumbo, you know the carpenter...he was selected by people magazine as one of the "beautiful people" of the year. Yes sir..he gets my vote.

Well DH just called and he's only a few minutes away, so I'm going to go make a fresh pot of coffee.

Hope all HAGD - Val

Six thousand staples in a wall? Egads!! What happens when you want to repaint the wall? Can you imagine taking them out? Those designers are so comical. They surely have good ideas, but some of them are just bizarre and unrealistic. We everyday gals are just so realistic! Darn.

Never watched While You Were Out. Sounds like it is the type of show DD in Garrison would like. She got so many good ideas from This Old House. They bought a pretty old one up there and it looks beautiful with the improvements she and her DH did by themselves. I'm pretty proud of her.

Good morning, Val. I often wonder if anyone on "Trading Spaces" has hated their new digs??? Can you imagine them walking in and saying, "Oh no!" and start crying!! :)

Val:

I kept saying the same thing- how to clean all those flowers? What will the steam do to them? Sometimes, they take a nice room and make it look worse. But, it is a fun show anyway. Have you seen the British version ? I hear it's fun, but I don't get it in the City. Ditto on that Carpenter. I bet he gets his own show.

Although my back is still out, I am enjoying the rain. It's cool and Dh feels better in the cool air.

I am hoping we can get to Florida to visit Df this week. It depends on how my back is doing.

I think they all have to take a class in "ugly" to be on Trading Spaces..LOL!! They sure do come up with the most gawdawful ideas on that show. I always wonder if any of them actually leave their rooms like that or immediately toss that stuff out. I watch it occasionally as a comedy show. Sorry if I'm insulting anyone who thinks they're really good redecorators, ya know how it goes..everyone to their own taste and all that jazz..LOL!!

Your hubby is a lucky man coming home to a fresh pot of coffee and *you*. Have a good day dear friend...Susie

Hugs,

Oh Val, I feel for you. We're finally having some nice weather here. I'll try real hard to send some up to you. Too much rain can really get you down.

Glad you had a good time with your sister last night. And no, I cannot imagine all those artificial flowers STAPLED to the bathroom wall. Wish I had seen that.

Hope you and your DH have a good day together....BB

Andrew can come to my house and just sit here so I can look at him......lol....mmmmm, mmmm

I was thinking the same thing about the flowers...isn't she the one that always does the fabric on the walls? I like Frank, but I am with that one lady if it was Doug in my house I would be afraid, very afraid....lol....

The weather said it was supposed to rain here for the last few days then changed it's mind but we had a sprinkle before I went to bed. I think it is too cold to rain.lol...

But right now it is very cloudy and the wind has come up it feels like rain....I may have to close the windows...and a couple days ago I had the A/C on......Janet
