I won two baskets in the silent auction

Congrats on the winnings, Vixmom!

Anyway, I hate the practice. When I'm in an audience that starts it, I either stop clapping entirely or I clap faster and more furiously the normal way.

It's a perfect reason to eliminate bow music. I applaud it, and not in rhythm.

It was a mirror about 14x24 framed in green.  It is now in my living room while I find a place for it to live.

I left a small set of wind chimes on the ground.

Aren't you clever leaving something to replace the mirror.  I hope you find the perfect spot for the mirror.

There’s a house near us, not technically in our neighborhood but you have to drive by it to get to our house. In front of it is a mold-covered 1970s camper, a 30-foot 1970s U-Haul truck, a moldy boat, also about 30 feet. A normal car, and part of a catamaran. The owner is rarely there.

It doesn’t stress me out personally, but Mrs R finds it quite appalling. I had to laugh when driving the kids to school the other morning and my son pointed out the latest addition: A blue 2-seater airplane.

Oh my, that would drive Keith up a wall and I don't think I would be all that pleased ;D

LOL. Is there a name on a mailbox?  Possibly "Sanford and Son"?

In other words, a fair exchange?  A 'this for that" sort of thing?


I took it as there was also a set of windchimes, but he didn’t take those.

That's funny because now I realize I must have been wrong.

I put the mirror on the desk against the wall so that the pair of keets now have a FULL view of themselves on that side of the cage.

The are most amused and they enjoy admiring themselves to be sure.

I had to go back and look for Chow Chow.  LOL, I wasn't expecting that one.  I was thinking maybe the Black Cake or one of the other cakes.
