Ah Ha! So that's how they do it!

I sort of wondered on occasion how it is that people spend outrageous amounts of money on things..especially clothes. Now granted, one woman's outrageous can be another's ho hum but still there are all those designers out there and someone can afford to buy their clothes. Well now...I wonder who bought this little number at full price and who got a deal at overstock.com Hey, it's a savings of over $9000.00 and you know a dress like that calls for new shoes.

Ok, so I only wondered about that a day or so ago and now I'm over it. We'll be packng up and heading back to Connecticut later this morning. Mind you I only typed out the full word Connecticut just to show you that I can spell it. Show off. this may surprise you but I've actually spoken with people on our travels who honestly think Vermont is part of Canada; if they have any idea where it is at all, that is.

Eldon is coming back! Yes, Fans, Leo, (aka Eldon) will be returning to our humble abode. This is going to be a multistage process so we may have to adopt him or at the very least be able to claim him on our taxes. First up is reshingling the back side of the house. the old deck had been attached right to the house so there is a whole line of rotted out/off shingles; now there will be some brandy-new ones on that whole face. Then he has to shore up the existing porch, funny how one of the supports is not really attached and doing anything useful. Then maybe a new deck off the porch. The big issue however is the sunroom off the livingroom that needs replacing..we are still working out a plan for that one but I think he has enough to keep him busy for a while. Silly Eldon, he was telling us along with his estimate how it's a big job to do the shingling and how it was going to take some time. *I* told him if we had a time frame or had wanted it done yesterday, we would have hired someone else. Gee, I don't think he was offended. I just meant we obviously would work with him in "Eldon time." We like the reults. He's actually supposed to start the side of the house this coming week....ok. ( ..and to think I could have a Valentino dress instead...)

So, in the meantime, I'm off to pack. Don't have to much fun without me and I'll see you in Connecticut....

The way I remember to spell your home state was: Connect + I + Cut and that spells..Connecticut.

The tricks we have to do to spell correctly. I'm sure most remember MIS SIS SI PPI

Shaking my head at that price for a dress. That could be a downpayment on a house.
