You are really a trooper. Hard working ethics.
Your hubby is so lucky.

Got the kitchen paint job completed yesterday.
It’s hard to see in the photo, but the two colors are “organic cotton” and “super nova.” For us folks without marketing degrees, that translates to “beige, with hints of green” and “very light purple.”
We’re really liking it so far. The beige one matches the countertop, which is a much lighter beige, with flecks of darker beige, light green, and grey in it.
The light purple goes with vinyl floor covering, which has that color as the “grout” in the pattern. The stone tile backsplash is grey and shades of sand, so it goes with both.
The last things I need to finish up the kitchen are some new outlet/switch plates, and an overhead light above the sink. That’ll be a rechargeable one, I’m not wiring in a light fixture.

Oh yeah, we could smoke a little, and cook a lot. Gotta' take care of the munchies, but with GOOD food.

Went for our lunchtime walk to collect the mail from the letterbox... and came back with a Staffordshire Bull terrier called Ruby instead! Lol. Not what we were expecting in the mail today.
She's now lying at my husband's feet in his office until her owner returns to collect her in a few hours time...

Yes, indeed. Thank you.How bizarre! Glad you are OK
Thanks for doing that. Many a dog has spent time at my house hanging out with Psycho-poodle until the owner could come and pick it up. Always the same, somebody didn't close the gate to their yard, and the dog went for a walkabout.
My dog has a tag with my phone number on it, an I've gotten a few calls over his ten years, where I didn't close the driveway gate.
It's just nice to know there are people out there who care about wandering dogs.

Europe is being hit by Saharan dust brought by storm Celia, and the sky has been looking really weird. In some places the sky looks orange. It doesn't look too orangey where I live, but it's still looking weird.
We get that here in Dallas, but from West Texas sand. Nasty, but doesn't usually last long. Cool night time air usually brings it down. Here is a photo from my house during a West Texas dust storm.

Yes, that's how it looks. It's supposed to last a couple days here, but it doesn't happen frequently, it's a one off event. But the air quality is bad. People with respiratory problems are being asked to stay indoors with windows and doors closed. Cars are covered in a thin layer of sand too. I haven't been outside but when I open the windows I can notice the air feels different. It's been windy too.
Same here. It usually only hits us for one day, and like I said, the cool night air seems to make it fall to the ground -- or on top of cars, as you mentioned. And yes, it is not good for people with Asthma or other breathing issues.

When we lived in Kaneohe and had Vito, our GSD, the neighbor's kids had this adorable little mutt. Whenever Cookie got out, her first stop was our house, by means of busting through our back screen door
The wooden latched door was never closed, I mean come on man, what idiot is going to try to come in our house with a 130 pound German Shepard?
