And she looks excellent on the inside but there are things that could use fixing. All of her electrical/gas things work like lights, stove, oven, microwave, pump, ac, heater and refrigerator. However, she does need a new hot water heater, and a switch in one of the water lines in the bathroom (simple) and the line to empty gray/black water has a leak. She has two heavy duty new axels. But there is a bit of water damage in the front right side (looking at it). Her outside looks great but needs a wash. You know, after all those years I used her running around the nation, she looks really good.
On the collage fish project, I have four black triangular corners to add to the piece (like a book mark where you cut a corner of an envelope to place on the pages). I'm still not sure about adding embellishments but after looking at Sue Carlson's work, I am more inclined to do it. And still no name! Well, now that Duchess is in fairly good shape and I don't have to spend so much time working in her, I can concentrate on the fish collage.
So how's your summer going? Are you getting anything done that you had planned on doing? And how about rest and relaxation...maybe a vacation or stacation? All work and no play...well you know where that leads.
Now that we are on the back side of summer, it's time to make sure to you make the time to do that project but more important, to take a break. Summer is a good time to refresh yourself...to fill up that well inside you that always seems to run dry at the most important times. To read an enjoyable book. To swim or fish. To stop by an ice cream store for a cone. To take a walk. To have a picnic in a park. To play!
I know folks think I'm too old to do it but I love to swing. And when I'm in a park and the swings are free, I head over and swing as high as I can. Not only does it bring back memories of my childhood, but it's just plain fun. I hope all of you have something like that to enjoy this summer.
Talk with you tomorrow...
