Martin: The four of us tried out a Spanish cafe in King's Cross for lunch as Ruth had the day off. 
Me: Our neighbor, Patti's blooming cactus. 18 flowers! Beautiful.

Spent the afternoon scouring Craig's list for a curio cabinet. I found one and bought it, all the way up in north phoenix. I had to borrow James and his truck to get it. It was a lot of work to bring this 6'10" glass cabinet home. And now that it's home, I don't like it anymore. :-(  Maybe I'll feel differently about it tomorrow. It's currently outside so I can clean it up more. Good price but not if I have to resell it. Bummer.

  1. Re the curio: can you paint it or do something funky with it?

  2. It has been painted black, which I thought would work well. Maybe another color would be better. But I'm not loving the shape now that it's here. I'm going to put it in the Mini Mansion garage and think about before selling it.

  3. Funny that you were looking for a curio cabinet....I have been looking too....you know that we get a bell every year for our anniversary, and the one we have is full...haven't found one yet. Post a pic of the one you bought! The blooming cactus are beautiful!
