The Other Patti has arrived with Bruce at my house already. Bruce is pulling up the old rugs in the hallway, and Other Patti is both supervising and making sure I have totally non-nutritious supplies of candy to fuel my sugar rush and my creative efforts, both. This morning’s sugar rush is sponsored by York Peppermint Patties. I wonder if Other Patti brought to This Patti some Peppermint Patties because of the name…. I must ask her that.
We will now not have wall-to-wall rugs in the hallway, since the lovely wood floor underneath the rugs is turning out to be in wonderful shape, only needing a bit of a wax to be a happy, useful floor. Buck is ecstatic. He is in HGTV mode. He could probably do most of the shows on that channel himself, if they’d let him. I myself am glad when I can walk on the floor and not get my feet full of carpet tacks. I am such a simple soul, am I not?
