Jcahas been playing Honey-Dwith Don on my behalf and he has been busily fixing all the little annoyances I have had around the house for the last 10 years. I now have real clothes lines and chough to hang several batches of wash at once instead of the usual 'r batch at a time. In fact I was so tickled when he got them done Saturday that I washed everything in the house and threatened anyone who dared to sneak to the clothes line without me. And the screen is now fixed in the back door. The cats arc indignant as they cant come and go at will but it just suits me fine. I have had to make mv own adjustments to open the door to look out as opposed to just leaning out like I have done for so long Also the light fixture I got for Christmas (1978) is now out of the box and hanging over the dining room table. It isn't as bright as the old one so lewis complained. I told him it was a mood" light and he said it was more o like a cant see your food light". The way he carries on about my cooking you would think he would be pleased. Recently, however, he hasnt had any complaints as I have been conveniently busy at meal time and Jean has been in charge of culinary delights and our diets have improved considerably. I sure hope Don holds out thru the rest of the projects 1 have accumulated over the years as it is the little things that make life so much more pleasant.
