...lights on, no one home...


Greetings. It is sunny, warm and another beautiful day here in Chester County, PA. I had a late afternoon meeting and rushed out of the store and must have hit the wrong switches as the front window was dark as a tomb this morning when I arrived. That is a first for me. Sitting here with this big window on Rt. 30 all illuminated is a great form of advertising. Not last night, but usually...I put a few coats of buttermilk paint on that pedestal table and it is looking fine. Several more layers of many colors, sanding away and a faux touch and it will be finished. More orders today resulting from late yesterday's appointment is good news so the greater part of today will be numbers and calculations. *yawn* Tonight I pick up a friend from the train station as she is visiting from FLA and I look forward to spending some time with her. Hopefully she is in the mood to paint a table. I am kidding. Sort of. It is the first day of October and my mums are looking great. They light up the front yard. On this day in 1880 the first electric lamp factory was opened by Thomas Edison. What didn't that man accomplish? I got a healthy three hours of sleep last night so am feeling chipper. Just keep me away from one. Yikes. My friend AL starts her new job today right down the road from me. I know a few people who either work there or have 'visited' to get healthy. Good luck! Keep coming back. She works! Oh, I sent BT home with several replacement papers from Schumacher and they average about 200 bucks per single roll. Never call me cheap! She only needs 8 rolls for her powder room so it should go splendidly. My gym friend K is going through a real hard time right now. She is blond, bubbly and always wears a smile even through this hard time so if you get a chance and want to say a quick one for a total stranger, please do. One more thing and this has nothing to do with lights being on but Sony launched the first consumer CD player on this day in 1982. Do people still use those things?? More so, did Thomas Edison have a hand in this invention also. Have a great day everyone.
