There was a lot of smoke in Larry’s front yard. Some came from his sit on mower belching blue plumbs as he mowed his grass. This was only surpassed by the smoke coming from the ciggi burning furiously from his lips. This was being fanned by the breeze caused by his speed. I was waiting for the “Ouch!” As the burning tobacco hit the lips, but that never happened. He quickly lit another from the glowing embers.
We went for lunch at our local vegan cafe, a nice break from the garage, and a continued help to Kelli’s confidence. The next milestone will be an early evening dinner, not quite sure when that will be, that will be down to her.
Progress on the first chair continues, most of the old finish has been removed except for the places that are difficult to get to, I have estimated a week a chair, I should be well inside that.
Kelli is busy stripping the two dressers we picked up on Monday. I have a few drawers to fix, but these are popular, and quick and dirty projects.
We finally sold the black mid century dresser, at a knock down price. Kelli knows that really annoys me, but I bit my tongue and let it go.
The buyer was a nice lady, a widow who’s husband died of Covid in February 2020 before it was deemed a pandemic. We both stood back to maintain distance, mostly out of habit, we’ve got used to keeping away from most people.
It was good to sell that piece, we don’t like keeping finished pieces for too long as they get dirty and there is alway the risk of damaging them.
Somehow it felt like a slow month, although our sales this year topped the same month last year, meaning it was just our imagination, hey! That’s a good line for a song.
