Let's just chat for a while, shall we?

How warm it is today! It's the first day anyone thought to use the AC at my house. We all were full of ambition this morning, with plans to paint the porch, hang out the laundry and such like. The heat seemed to drain everyone's energy by noontime however, and only about half of the day's intended tasks were completed.
Slowly, but surely, my tea room begins to take shape. I'm gonna have to rope James into helping me. No, really I'm so glad to have a "big" brother who's so willing to help me make something out of nothing. He always says, "Well, first, let's see the nothing." :) James has offered to build me an arbor. All I have to do is sketch building plans so he knows what I want and what to buy. When I finally get this thing erect and in position, I'll show it to you. Via digital camera, of course. Unless anyone wants to come over for coffee hour and use it. It's in a nice shady spot.
James and I, having finished all we can of diagrams and visualizations, and not having means of transportation to get to Home Depot, (or Lowe's) have been tracking down outlaws on his newest ND game. This one's so cool. Cowboys, horseback riding, scorpions and hidden treasure. Dana, you're gonna love this one. Danielle, too! I don't know how many times I've killed myself already from getting too close to poisonous snakes, or how many times I've forgotten to cinch the saddle and fell off the horse. Lasso lessons were a real pain, but once you find the strategy behind the art, it's not that hard. James is still up there now, trying to break out of jail. (And they put these games in the educational section??)
It's such a lazy day. A good day to maybe lose myself in a good book. Problem is, I've already read all the ones we have here. But I suppose I could find a favorite and read it over again. After all, that's what books are for, are they not? |

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
