Twas a bit humid today...

Rather muggy for Alpine. It's been funky for several days, but this morning was weird. It was 70 degrees - 70% humidity, Then, it actually got cooler...and a little breezy. Then it was sunny, cloudy, sunny, cloudy, muggy. It think there is rain south of us right now, but I am not sure if it's headed this way or not. Don't care....doesn't matter.

Let's see...what happened today. Worked (of course) nothing drastic. Will have the same crap tomorrow. Good for business. Oh...don't know if I mentioned that we had found some funky (the word of the day) metal framed tiles that were perfect for one of our projects! The owner here had bought some small Mexican style painted tiles, with numbers, that she wanted on each of the cabin doors. We have been trying to figure out the best way to attach these so they - 1. wouldn't just plain fall off - 2. would withstand slamming of the doors by guests - 3. look attractive. These tiles fit the bill. We just turned them (the original tile in the frame) around, revealing the black tile and used floor adhesive to attach our numbered tiles in the center of the black tile. We smeared clear acrylic caulk around the tile (for any water seepage) and viola!! What a neat looking number plaque!

You can't see it really good in this picture, but we have some repair to do on the door. I know, most people would have done that first...but we are just not that smart! We'd rather go back and finish it properly...later!

It's OK... we have more plans for the door itself, so for right now....this looks a whole lot better than what was there!

This is our Montana Sarah room...aaaaahhh...
the memories this must hold!

Today was also 'old lady day' at Beall's. Those of us 50 and over (sob sob) have the special privilege of getting an additional 20%  off the entire purchase on our very own day! First Tuesday of every month...or whenever Beall's needs more customers. Guess what, I don't need anything...but Bobbie and Raven did...so they used my card (which is great cuz I used their 40% coupon on Sunday - go figure, it depends on who has money and when...) and they saved quite a bit today. It also makes more sense to buy the clearance stuff and get the additional 20% discount over and above. Well...it makes sense to me.  You can get some really fantastic prices if you just look. Since they are our only 'department store' it's them...or ALCO. And you know what a shopper I am (remember..Amazon Queen??). There are truly better deals at Bealls. They only carry clothing, shoes, accessories...I know I have said all this before.

I have so much stuff that I have never even worn. I think the best thing to do on next 'old lady day' is start finding fall clothing...perhaps a jacket or long sleeved stuff. Not necessarily work stuff.

Home Alone is on. It's a cute movie. I got a great catalog today with really cute Christmas ornaments. You know me by now. I have great plans to make some Christmas stuff (and these would be really, really cute as felt ornaments). I need to quit procrastinating. I think that was on my New Year's Resolution List! Wonder where I put that damn thing...I do have my TO DO list right here beside me, but that's a whole 'nother animal!

Maybe I should start a Christmas Craft Show To DO list! What a great idea! Wait...I did that last year and I sucked at it. Oh...I made a ton of stuff...I just didn't finish the BIG projects...remember the Teddy Bears?? I rest my case.

I think I sign off for now and watch the movie. The list can wait! See ya later!
