Project finis!

 

I think the sunroom looks bigger with this new configuration! It is a long skinny room with dimensions of 19' X 10'.

Hubby's work was essential for the project to be completed, was it worth it? YES!

It may be a while until I can talk him into doing the guestroom in the same cottage white... who knows when that will be, ugh!

That tan item sticking out in the picture is one of my straw hats, I could not figure it out at first, ha! We have hooks or dowels at each door for hanging stuff!

Below is the finished cabinet with all items put back and LED lights complete!

Considering we do not drink any alcoholic beverages we have quite a collection of wine glasses, and lucite ones too, due to my MS I dropped things, glassware, too often so we had switched. Although, the lucite was breakable too. 

We stopped drinking back in 2016 when I had my stomach surgery, a year after I was allowed to imbibed once again, but it tasted to me like rubbing alcohol so I told Hubby and he politely decided to join me in not drinking anymore. These days I wouldn't anyway due to my baclofen pump it is not recommended to drink any alcoholic beverages, and truthfully I do not miss it! 

Location, location, location!

We did beat the storm, and fortunately, we lucked out without any flooding or dangerous winds! We did have over five inches of rain, though.

And rain bands are predicted to continue all day! Chance did not sleep so consequently, neither did I.... we spent the whole night up in the living room!

With me reassuring our fur baby that nothing bad will happen with Mommy and Daddy here to take care of him.

It seems that Aussie, above, is... what is it called when he gets in every photo? Photobomber?

Well, to be fair he is very photogenic, always has been!

Moving on...!

As I mentioned, Tropical-Hurricane-Tropical- soon to be once again Hurricane Elsa we faired rather well since we are considered waterfront and we're under too many watches and warnings to recall all of them to state here...!

Although, the backlash is still going on... from the storm!

By tomorrow all should be back to somewhat normalcy as Elsa leaves our state.

We do have another high tide until after one P.M. that will tell us how much surge we will be getting... it is supposed to be 2-4 feet above our usual high tide. If it was that high at our four-thirty A.M. that was our first high tide for the day, it was too dark for me to see it at that time.

And so we must go, for now ...

Please be smart, as well as safe.

Have a very pleasant day.

Count those blessings, and we will too!

Next time, please be here or be square, ya hear!

Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia, but American-made, I will comply anyway, for the fun of it,... so I will say good day!

I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site, that day, what she thought I should be named. And without hesitation, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,... some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid about me, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but... as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though I tip the scales at around seventy pounds, HA! I must admit, a very big one!
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.

3 months................................................ 3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018. (Although, the actual date this blog started was June 25, 2008.) 

Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           

Hello, I am Bella in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as difficulties... We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear out the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!

Please don't forget me, I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven most days, even later! I enjoy a good tug-a-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted, on January 23, 2020. 

I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living-room window, so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening? 

The animal control lady was called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me, I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
