I'm dyzzy and can hardly handle it.






















Hello everyone.
Had a great trip to So. Ca. and visited with my wife and friends(Fred and
my buddies at Dyzzy's record shop) thanks again to Pete for getting me
to the airport. This week was full of drama. Electrician didn't show up
to end of the week and then stepped thru ceiling after putting up chandelier.
Then the plumber stripped a pipe and will have to dig thru tile to repair and
finally the septic guy didn't show up to do final inspection. But I got over
it and moved on. Today was a better day. Got all the painted doors back
on and all the handles on cabinets. Window coverings and propane
delivery on Monday. Still battling on getting cable, internet or phone
to house. Looking forward to friends visiting next week. Well Stay
Thirsty my friends an enjoy pics.

Darling I Love You but give me Park Avenue
















AHH, the Great Northwest! I am growing moss on my feet. The homestead is progressing nicely; if a little behind schedule. We have been making decisions right and left this week. Decisions are so much easier with a champagne chaser! We spent the day with a glass of bubbly, looking at window coverings on our almost finished deck, in the rain.
I love the wide open spaces of Bloomingdales, and my wide open kitchen reminds me of how much stuff I need to buy to fill it up. Also, the flea market shopping up here is like Portobello Road in London! George is already sorry for dragging me on his "hunting"' expeditions. Too bad, the gilded mirror I sniffed out is a wonderful piece that will look fantastic, somewhere... And the bracelet I found was such a sweet present for him to buy me!! I think I will like it up here.
Stay Thirsty our friends
