One more puzzle

 One more puzzle done.  Sometimes I wonder if it is really true that puzzles/word games really help generate new brain cells.  If it is, I ought to be a genius.  I love all kinds of puzzles. 

I love the puzzles that you have to figure out how to take apart, then figure how to get them back together.  I have never had very many but they always intrigue me.

We have had shower this afternoon...but not storming.  It gets cloudy and then clears up.  The constant is the wind.  It never stops.

He was our handsome boy...

 Just an old photo of Bubbie...he was handsome and funny...and loved nothing better than to 'talk' us into going outside and sitting on the porch.  You could see the contentment on his face.  He was often ready to go back inside before I was.

I am watching Bletchley Circle, San Francisco...has anyone else watched Bletchley Circle or Bletchley Circle, San Francisco.

From the old days...

 I have published this before, but it has been quite a while ago...probably 10 yrs or longer.  I had to hunt for something to post.  Since fall is approaching I thought this fit.                                                                                                                           ******************

Ever since Karen at Life is Good got her cordless vacuum and liked it, I have been thinking about one.  I finally did it.  I got one...not just like hers but a Dyson.  It came yesterday, and I LOVE it.  I got mainly for the hardwood floors part of the downstairs, and also the study and the formal dining room.  Both have carpet but have to vacuum around a lot of stuff.  Not a lot of carpet area to vacuum.

I tell you it is a game changer for me.  I love the thing.  But, I did attempt to vacuum this living room...using the strongest vacuuming setting.  The battery died right before I got done.  But it is a really big living room so I am not too upset.  I had did what amounted to all the other on one charge, and it did fine.  I had wondered if the weight would bother me, it weighs almost 6 lb...but I think it is easier than the upright.  And sure is easier to get into tighter spots.

I know it is early days, and I may change my mind.  But it was quicker and easier to do it.  With the other vacuum, I have to deal with moving the cord 3 times...and it is heavier to push.  Though I will probably still use it on the living room.
