After a brief visit back in Desert Hot Springs, I have returned to Idaho where the sun shines all of the time (at least for now) and the temperature is perfect.
I left DHS in July 4th and managed to drive as far as my favorite place in all of the world...Ely Nevada. I have to say that the people there are very nice and they must have been expecting me this time, because just as I arrived in town the most beautiful fireworks display was started; nicer than most I've seen in recent years. It lasted for about an hour and ended with an all out blow em out pyrotechnic showoff display. (I wonder what they will do for me next time I stop in town?)
As for Blueberry Avenue, I've been busy there since I arrived back in town; mostly pruning and yard work. The funnest part was pruning the pyracanthas bush outside of the front bedroom window. They say one should put those in to deter burglars, and it should work as they are also a good deterrent to pruning! Then there was the tree in the backyard, which looked more like a huge overgrown shrub than a tree! It is now pruned up about five feet off the ground and actually look like a real tree! I still don't have a clue as to what kind of tree it is though. With all of this pruning I've been doing I can see a trip to the dump in the near future.
Next up is to get back inside. I was reminded today that I never finished washing the woodwork (and no little ferries came in to do it while I was away!) Then there will be plastic and taping off all of the interior for painting. Todd said that this should take about two days...At the speed I move it will probably be more like a week! Where are all of my helpers?
Of course one must also squeeze in a little time for job searches, which are done mostly online these days. I had an interview today at the Boise Accountemps office. All of my records and test scores have been transferred from California and I'm ready to go to work...just as soon as they find me some work to do...
So if you find yourself with time on your hands, and don't know what to do...Come over and checkout my to-do list...I'm sure I can keep you busy!

Yes, it certainly does sound like you are busy and could use some help, but if people stop by and don't like your list, they can take a road trip to my house. My list is plenty long and could use some assistance as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving my bush a name (pyracanthas bush) I always wondered what it was. Mine is also in front of my bedroom window. I can see why it deters burglars, it has huge thorns.
ReplyDeleteYup Linda...That be the one...Nasty Devil!
