Best Decision
The best decision on the patio porch’s carpet was to . . . get it up, get it out and keep it out. The carpet was a Berber and it was heavy when dry and super heavy when wet. The livestock can’t quite make out what is happening to their lair. Tabitha is towards the back under the green lawn chair and Snuggles is awaiting the next big plan. It’s not all bad for them. Their baskets are there for bedtime. When we ran away to Mankato yesterday, Lowe’s was our first stop. The new 12′ x 16′ carpet is the lightest indoor outdoor weight that they sold. Dennis easily carried it out to the pickup. In the mean time . . . in between time the patio porch is in a holding pattern until there can be no chance of drying that is yet to happen. What I felt was a major victory for Dennis and me . . . we did the cleanup work by ourselves. We didn’t have anything to prove. It feels so great when we can do for ourselves. Independence is alive and well for the team on Stauffer Avenue. We did make a trip to Old Alley Quilt Shop in Sherburn, via Interstate 90, for a quilt top to be long armed sometime in July. Sharon takes reservations: first come first serve. My July date was set when I called her in January. She is a busy quilter. It was a good road date as we took in the farm land and what the rain has done. We felt meek as a piece of carpet couldn’t hold a candle to what our farmers are up against.
