What I'm Reading This Week #30
Happy Final Friday of July everyone! I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view. The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole. I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera. Nope. source When he poked it, it drained away. Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying. I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't. But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel. In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!! If we'd left it to the HOA dude, an eighth of the bottle woul...
This sounds funny but when we were on a walk and smelled the lawn spray fertilizer, it was the same stuff people in my old neighborhood used when I was a kid and it instantly took me back to the days of walking around doing my paper route in the summer. I also agree with the smell of Hawaii - can't beat that!
ReplyDeleteMom's beef roast, onions and garlic sauteeing, reminds me of my youth. The scent of pine (true pine trees, not the perfumed up scent that overwhelms) always reminds me of the North woods and is an instant smile-inducer. Cranberry,banana, and pumpkin breads remind me of falling leaves and fireplaces. Happy sigh... Great question!
