Grey and White Random

I noticed that the photo file for the last couple
of days was totally grey and white!
So, why not just show you all the grey
randomness that has been going on here.
Even the sky was grey today!

I showed you my 9 cent sugar shaker from the thrift
store the other day.  Yesterday they had two more!
Now I have one for sugar, powdered sugar and
cinnamon sugar!  A whopping 27 cents in all. 
Since they keep showing up there, that must
mean that I'm the only one that likes them! ha.



They also had 6 brand new white damask place mats
with the tags still attached. $1 each.
Betsy + 5 men = 6
Perfect for Christmas dinner. :)



Even the cats fit in with this theme, if you count black.
Here's Jack, Tiger, Domino and Charcoal having lunch.
I guess the grey ones curl their tails while they eat
while the black ones leave them out. :)


Yesterday I pulled into the Wal-mart parking lot in Springfield, Ohio and
 there was a flock of Ring-billed Gulls taking up a section.
  They were even double parked! ha ha.  
Very tame, not moving as cars drove by, they were
soaking up the sun.  I love the one in the back balancing on one leg. :)
Of course, I was the only one to stop, take pictures and chat
with them for a few minutes.  I invited them over, too! lol...


And last but not least, when your dryer is going to cost $470 to repair and 
the new one you want costs $600, it's just better to get the new one, 
right?  And if you have men with muscles at home, there's no
need to pay for delivery. ha.  But in true tradition, The Mister had his
friend Murph along today.  He got the door switched to open on the
side I wanted just fine, but when he went to put on the electric 
cord in the back, the screw dropped behind the cover and into the
outside frame.  He looked through his tool boxes and didn't have
another screw that size.  Then the socket set got knocked off the 
dryer and on to the floor.  ha. After an hour of fiddling, and a bit
 of growling, he finally retrieved the screw and we got
 the dryer in it's rightful spot.


Now I have a  matched set! Yippee! 
And yes, they are Speed Queen.
Commercial Heavy Duty, Super Capacity.
Lifetime Warranty.
I love my washer we got earlier this year.
No fancy colors, bells or whistles.
No electric panels to short out.
I just want the things to wash and dry
a mountain of laundry each day without fuss. ha.

So, how was your day?
Was it colorful, or grey?
And I ended in a rhyme for Pat.
How about that? ha.
