REFLECTIONS

I like this video but I'm not following the site because it seems to be mostly a way to sell her books.  There's nothing wrong with that but I don't want to lure you into her web.😉 I could not download the video. The only way was to link to Facebook. If you're not signed into Facebook you may get this screen.    But you can check off "Not Now". It's about 10 minutes long. Here's the link to the video.

I took the stove apart so I could give it a final cleaning before using it as a decoration for our basement den.  This also makes it easier to move.  Made of solid cast iron it's very heavy! From the embossed letters and numbers: Leader Globe No 212  UMCO From memories of my childhood in Brooklyn, we used it to burn coal.  It probably also burns wood. Whenever we moved I made sure to take the stove with me.  It looks like a work of art. The special black paint I used on it decades ago is still holding up, no rust, only dust! I love the flower decoration on each corner and the trim design along the bottom ridge. Ash Door Slide Ash Door All the parts easily move and fit, just like new!

The furniture was delivered this afternoon.  Tomorrow, our TV will be delivered.  Saturday, Xfinity will hook up the cable.  Then we'll have our basement back after the flood a few years ago.  It took a while but it will finally be finished. We're still waiting for another chair and we need to find a coffee table.

It looks much better than a bare basement concrete floor.  The folded carpet is what was left over. Lynette said you can bind the edges to use it as an area rug.  Next the TV and furniture will be delivered but not until after Thanksgiving.  Here some heavy slate pieces are holding down the wooden trim until the glue dries. Today was a busy day; waiting for the carpet, taking the trash to the dump, calling Visa, calling the repair service for our microwave.  Thank goodness it's still under warranty.  I walked around the park and treated myself to an ice cream cone, piece of apple pie and a large ice  tea at McDonald's. The portions of pie and ice cream are small. 

I must have had something like this in school but I have no idea now.  I hope you enjoy the video. I found it on Miss Cellania's blog.

I was searching the web for a cane I might like. This is the cane left over from my back problems before surgery. It's very comfortable with its padded handle and stable enough to stand on its own,  But it will easily tip over if pushed. Here's a cane/seat: It might be okay for outdoor events but too bulky for ordinary use. A folding cane might be nice: But will it stay open? Gun cane?: This must be a joke. This sword cane is real.  Here's a video: It's too deadly for me.  I also found a stun gun cane and a blow dart cane.  Who knows what else is out there! I think I'll stick with my old trusty off set, cushioned handle, tripod tip cane.
