How Do You Like My Screen Door?


What the hell! Those fancy french door curtains I saved did come in handy this Summer. The good news is, next year I can tack up another clean one. The brocade drapes I give away, they were to nice to get dirty.
I have another pile of wood like the one by my front door, only that one is stacked on pallets. Small rounds burn well in my stove and will last through the long Winter nights. It's no fun waking up to a cold house, and having to start a fire from scratch. Once the cold weather hits, the stove is pretty much going twenty-four-seven. I even clean the ashes with a fire going, using a large stainless steel restaurant mixing bowl, my welding gloves, and a wide plaster spatula.
I praying my Micky Boy recovers his health and stays with me through the Winter. He has been really sick, even puked on one of my language dictionaries...didn't need the dust jacket anyway.
I spoon feed him a gruel made of chicken stock and oatmeal, and let him drink all the slippery elm water he wants. He is a tough little guy and gets right back up when he falls over. He's comfortable and not in pain, and that for now is enough to make me happy. I think both of us, and Sarah too, have had a peaceful day, even the chainsaw worked well.

Now, I know you already know this but i'm typing it anyway. Take those wood planks on the pallett and nail them all together by attaching a brace in the back of the palletts. You can re-use the nails already in the planks. Before attaching the brace, take the cloth on your door...or a plastic shower curtain, if you have it, would be better. nail the brace right over the plastic into the planks and you will have a ten times better door! If you email me your address, I'll mail you some hinges, I have over here, going to waste, got a lot of nails too, if you need them. I'm so glad Mic is feeling better and not in any pain, how old is the little guy? Your cabin is great, you have made a nice home for you and Mic but you have to have a door girl!!!....forgive me, but Sarah? Who is sarah? I don't know why I'm thinking a cat? I'd love to see your mom's painting.
