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.

ReplyDeleteI start playing it Nov 25, any earlier and my husband gets annoyed!
ReplyDeleteI wait until November 12, we honor our soldiers on Remembrance Day, November 11, here in Canada. I move into Christmas mode then!
