Pardon Our Dust


In conjunction with spring cleaning, which usually means shoveling the dirt out the door, Martha decided to remodel our library over the weekend. It is truly amazing what one can do with a little forethought, some rough drawings on the back of the electric bill, and a few odds and ends from Ace Hardware.

Oh, I helped too. I stupidvised, of course, but I also did the ceiling frescos from a paint-by-number kit. I was lucky to get the last one; all the rest were of Elvis on black velvet, but I already have several of those.



[Thanks go to Joyce for finding this wonderful site of World Libraries. The library pictured is the Library of the Benedictine Monastery of Admont, Austria.]

See that cornice up on the left? No, the one next to it. No, the other side. Well I think you missed a bit...

You know, you're absolutely right. I'll have Martha get on it as soon as she gets home from work.

BTW, do you have a head cold or a wart or something?

I've chosen to ignore spring cleaning. I will acknowledge the season but not the cleaning that is associated with it.

Stupidvised: I read this through the first time and missed that. Great word, and remind me to do some of that too. Though I'm so tired out lately, I'd probably end up stuporvizing instead.

MEG: I like your style: to hell with shoveling the dirt out, just enjoy the season.

MARY: Could it be that your job is not Tee-cha but rather stuporvisor?
