Thanks, Kathy.

Actually, is pretty good about redecorating; it was just

the thought of another major project. :) I do a lot of it

myself, too; which, I think is part of the problem -- HE does the

ironing; and he's just thinking about all the fabric he's going

to have to iron whilst I sew new drapes, pillows, etc. Also,

about all the driving around associated with shopping FOR the

fabric, rugs, etc. He also knows I want some of the tables

refinished; that's a lot of work for him.

The first project is finding a rug for the living room. The tile

is much easier to keep clean than the carpeting -- good for the

asthma -- and MUCH better as a walking surface for my stumbling

feet. However, that vast, vast expanse of tile just needs to be

broken up a tad. And, because I am so very picky, it's probably

going to take a while to find just what I want.

Then, comes the great re-upholster vs. buy-new decision for the

LR furniture. The sofa / loveseat / chair I currently have are

very good pieces with excellent construction; but, they're 20

years old and really starting to show the wear. So, I either

need to get them recovered or get new ones.

Fortunately, the custom table for the DR, and the reframing of

various pictures is Sombody Else's Problem. He's got a lot of

lamp rewiring to do, though.

We were already a federal disaster area before the hurricaines

hit. We've gotten three FEET more rain this summer than normal.

The ground is so saturated that new rainfall has nowhere to go.

Even an inch of rain these days causes everything to flood. And,

then, of course between the crops getting flooded out and the

bees not flying because it was raining, there have been massive

crop failures. Very poor cherries -- that molded on the trees.

No apricots; almost no peaches / nectarines. Pears and apples

did OK because we had a dry week the week they were blooming.

The white grape crop is almost a total loss . . . which really

hurts the wineries; red grapes are OK, but very low in sugar.

Don't even think 'tomato'; this is the first year I've not had

ANY to speak of. It's OCTOBER, and they're just starting to get

the root crops and fall brassicas. Oh well, climate is what you

expect; weather is what you get.
