Good news and bad news all in the same day, Darius. Maybe the bad isn't all bad, a change to a specialist may bring you better results, so we will be optimistic for you. New Knobs! I still don't have any on my kitchen or bathroom cabinet doors, and I don't miss them. There is space for fingers for opening, and knobs,and the area around them, always seems to get greasy and soiled so I never pursued it.

Yeah, I'm in the big foot club too. Nine and a half, and with the arch supports graduated to a D width, in spite of my narrow heels. Keeps them from pinching my toes. I've been getting a brand called Propet Walkers, which aren't as big and clunky as the Reeboks and Nikes, more like Keds. Leather uppers and they are washable and wear well. Last time I got them they were on sale so I bought three pair, two white and one black pair (for dress-up!). I'm still wearing the first whites, and considering what I've put them through this summer they are in pretty good shape.

Did it again today, instead of putting those niners up and loafing, I went shopping. Needed to make several stops and one of our garden/gift shops had 70% off on much of their garden decor and ceramics. Found three cookie jars marked down to $4 ea. and decided to replace my glass canisters which don't hold enough sugar or flour to be convenient. Can't get a measuring cup into them. I'll use the third for those odd bits we collect, bread sticks, seasoning packets, crackers, etc. Been dragging the hoses around all day too. Our grass is downright crunchy in spots.

DH ordered a 3 lb. burrito for dinner last night and only managed to eat part of it. He can have some more tonight, and I'll freeze the rest for his lunches at work. I don't see much point in cooking with that much leftover food in the 'frig.

I'd volunteer to adopt some of those white callas, but with my track record of failures in over- wintering tubers, I will forego killing them and let them have a happy home somewhere else. Our basement is too warm, the garage(s) are too cold, plus by spring I seem to forget where everything is! I found dahlias this spring, way too late, after they spent two summers down there. ....pretty sad sight.

Hmm, I grabbed a muffin this morning but now I want one of Robert's biscotti. Here's those cookie jars, promoted to countertop storage. $4 each......woohoo!!
