Please note: a correction brought to the editor's notice for the prior post...it's a 3-way switched outlet not a 3-way recetacle. (picky, picky, picky)
Now on to more important information...

The 50 cent tour....


Well it's the first weekend in June & it's Judy's Birthday weekend. Judy & Bob bought our house next door-remember I told you a long time ago they're from Long Island?? Well their family & friends came from L. I. to celebrate the next chapter in Judy's Life. Of course we had to be there also....neighbors are required at milestones in your life; so if you're overserved at your celebration, they can bust your chops for a long time! (The phrase being "Overserved" must be down state slang...no one uses it up here except bartenders.Just an FYI new neighbors)
But, I digress...Judy brought her family over for a "House in Progress Tour".
DIDN'T they all walk in & hand me 2 quarters each???? Just lookin for that 50 cent tour...goes to show you...downstaters will pay for anything!
(Well I'll tell you I wasn't taking any suggestions without them puttin their 2 cents worth in too! I'm gonna make me some here money offa this! Which is hard to say, cause they fed us &treated us right real kind...but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. I'm collectin my 2 cents worth, that's what upstaters do...)
So, as I'm giving the tour (which I've gotten quite good at) & I'm talking about the guest bath vanity that fell off the truck. These downstaters are all laughing & I'm confused. We've got some repair work & faux finishing that needs to be done due to the damage from when it hit the road & slid across the pavement. WELL....apparently, as Lori shared with me..."falling off the back of a truck" has a whole different meaning downstate.
Our vanity actually did fall off the back of the truck when the tailgate opened in transit.
We learn something new every day.
