Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

My girls were very pleased to be out for 3.5 hours while I was cleaning their house. Mom was doing some yard maintenance and was watching them. We found Marmalade sitting in a bush next to the porch preening. She likes it here. She was trying to menace our old poodle-pomeranian for a bit. It didn't even notice!

Is the roofer anybody I may know?? Not that it matters one bit since they don't talk to me.

Nope, that guy you are thinking of has neither delivered a bid nor shown up as he said he was going to, 3 weeks ago.

They were, good, weren't they! My first time making them even. And my kids were so good, I threatened them that I'd have guests over every time I cooked a nice meal

My Mother halves the Brussels sprouts, and on a cookie sheet drizzles EVOO & a bit of garlic powder...and bakes them...THEY ARE SO GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My quilt inspired needlepoint. I still need to block it, but it's stitched.

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In one of my travails around googleworld, I came across a study that stated that the tube florescent lights did not work nearly as well as CFLs or incandescents.
I either do not recall or it wasn't included any info on LEDs.
I'll probably never find it again, but if I do I'll post a link.

Imp- and remember this is subject to MY memory.

I use 100-watt Incadescents...the IFLs do not put out the light needed unless I use 2 per coop...
PHOOEY ON THAT !!!!!!!!!!!

There is also a lady on Craigslist in the Vancouver area that makes them for $5 each. I am thinking about trying a couple of hers.

I just got back from Reber Ranch a few minutes ago. I just bought 3 50lb bags of Layena for $25!!!!! Here's why: Total was $59, minus $10 coupon; paid with AmEx card and got $25 back off the purchase (later, not instantly) because it was "Small Business" or "Shop Small" day. Woohoo!!! That's $8.33/bag, and only $0.17/lb for feed!
