Never leave a fearless cat with a very tall ladder

More painting stuff going on today. Should get it finished up tomorrow! We told the guys last night just to leave the stuff in place, no need to put everything up just to get it out this morning. Gateway appreciated that! At least, on the way UP:

• I had to get him down twice (from a 12 foot ladder). The second time, we did take the ladder down.

Spun up some lovely silk outside on the deck today. It is 'Sunset' color from the Spinning Bunny. Bought this on ebay. This is a warning: If you are a spinner you will have to have some of this dreamy stuff. Wish I could wear a little handspun silk everyday...sigh... and handspun cotton too. Am just learning to spin on the box charkha. All this fiber stuff is just too much...I can't stop!

I have a bit of cabin fever the last couple of days. We have basically just stayed here the last few days with all the painting prep going on. It will be so great to finally have the shack painted. Might even have to get floors fixed, outside painting, deck refurbished, hey! I will have to do more housework then, I'll be so happy and proud. Maybe we should call off all this nonsense..in a pig's eye....huh? What a silly expression.

Have just finished reading some Orson Scott Card stuff. A book with the original "Ender's Game" and 3 other stories. Really enjoyed it. Wonder if my Sweet Son (don't tell him I said that) remembers reading that. May have to send him this book. Have also been wondering if my Grandson (18 mos.) might want my collection of Harry Potter books when he's older. That would be neat. They may be just too too whatever it is then to be worthy of reading.

We are all SO much alike, all of us here on earth. A big huge scramble of family. Some feel superior to others. Some have so little sense of worthiness. God/Allah/Great Spirit/Our Father/Mother/Aliveness Awakener/ bless and love us all and help us to do the same.

Good night, nancy
