Georgia where Houston is HOUSE-ton, Martinez is mar-tin-EZ, and Vienna is vye-ANN-ah.

Thank you for addressing my pet peeve: “mischievous” is not pronounced mis-CHEE-vee-us. And I agree, the first level piano method books are the primer level, rhyming with dimmer. It’s the only place I encounter that usage.

Thanks!

LOL, you should hang some pictures of their favorite treats at their eye level! Maybe near their beds!

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 8h

Crazy.

When I taught school, I was lucky to make it to the bathroom. People have no idea of the work load.

Thanks! I’ve used the velcro hangers, but have also had them pull the paint off the wall.

Eye level. No matter the ceiling height. Hubby and I argue over this because he’s taller than I am. 😂

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 10h

Yes, I usually insist that he does it because my usual method is to eyeball things rather than measure!

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 10h

Thanks!

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 10h

I completely understand that!

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 10h

Thank you!

I cut out templates and measured and measured and leveled. But I only nailed once. 💪

It’s up. Finally. I thought it would take about an hour, but it took every bit of 2, and many curse words. If I ever make noises again about hanging a gallery wall, somebody stop me, please. Hubby walked through at one point and said, “better you than me.”

Teal wall in my powder room with a gallery of photos from our last trip to Italy.

The view from the mirror in my powder room of the gallery wall. Visible is a gold framed mirror and a shelf over the toilet featuring a bunch of family photos from the 1910s and 20s, an antique beaded purse, and a huck towel. On the counter is an old ironstone pitcher with fake greenery ‘cause there’s no natural light in here and greenery softens everything.

Have a great party!

I googled the “tuna” to see what it was made of. White beans. Um, if I want white beans, I prefer them not to taste like tuna!

Checking right now to see if my stores carry caramel bits…

Today really marks the start of fall for us. First day that won’t be in the 80s!

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 17h

That particular section has already been re-screened once. Will look into the pet proof stuff!

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 17h

He’s a rascal!

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 17h

Crazy Bean is gonna tear up that screen. 😬

Laura L @lalalowe.bsky.social · 17h

It’s a lovely 57 degrees on the porch this morning and Bean is feeling his…beans.

A black cat has climbed up the screen wall of a screened porch all the way to the ceiling.

Lots of bandaids!

I’m so sorry.
