Out in the sun too long, gonna have to rest for a bit.
But I'm sure netflix has something interesting to watch...  |
Okay, bought some throwaway brushes this morning to finish painting rust stopper stuff on my metal projects. Now I can see all the many spots I missed,
, got ahead of myself I guess?
So, anyhoo, made a second set of keys for Grace, since I've lost the original set, put them in a safe place so I would forget.
I'm so clever I scare myself!
Took off the mirrors with V's help, soaking some of the rusted on bolts in vinegar, hoping I will be able to get them off later. Going to scrub/paint metal rod thingys that hold the mirrors up in place. Then I'm gonna paint with a bright spring green. That's because the back side of the mirrors are handpainted to look like Sunflowers!
I was inspired by Left Right Femme's posts on Daktari's wall, you know, all the lovely frogs? Am going to paint some of those lovely creatures on the sides of Grace. Today if the weather holds, I will wash the pollen off the sides and the toys and start drawing out where I want them to sit. Shall be great fun!!!
I wish I had a friend around here who could sit and talk to me while I work. I used to talk to Yoda, but he's gone now. Been having nightmares about my little buddy, dreaming that my mother has covered him in a suffocating gel, and I have to race to the kitchen sink to rinse it off him before he dies. Nasty way to wake up I can tell you.
Anyhoo, before I dissolve into tears again, think I will use the scraps of canvas to make big sunflower leaves to attach to the poles. I need to do something creative that will help me with my grief.
So any ways. Checked on my storage this morning. Not as much stuff left as I remembered. Thank goodness.
Well, let see. Think I will go eat some of V's salad she is making for us. So nice to have fresh foods to eat. I miss all the fresh fruit in Hawaii. Especially papaya.
Oh well. Mexico will have to do for now.
