“The RoseBouquet”

Tomorrow I plan to go again, and flatten a load of empty cardboard boxes. They may only total 17 lbs in the end, but somebody has to go clean that stuff up. There are still 2-3 areas in the basement to clean, and the garage.

It is raspberry season, and when they don’t get picked every day, the picking takes a lot longer when you get to it. I have invited the neighbours to help themselves, but Mom taught me to pick thoroughly when I pick, and not to waste precious berries. So I’ll probably get another couple of pickings there.

Next Wednesday is August 1, the day the keys are to be handed over. I expect to be there, but don’t know what time yet. If it’s the morning, my RoseBouquet will be later in the day.

Business-wise, I’m making valiant progress in my email backlog. I had it down to just 33 the other day, but then more came in.

I’m also busy working on client’s websites. In just the past seven days I’ve helped two of them discover they have access to the domain of their choice - or are sitting on it and unaware of it. I guess you have to know a bit about registering and hosting domains to get the joke, but I’m grinning away here to myself about all this. I’m also glad I could be the right person at the right time to help them sort these problems out.

I hope to get the one client’s site up and running tonight, and the other tomorrow night, most likely.

Several WTM friends have reminded me that I’m suppose to be at the office for lunch today. I’m bright enough to know that once a month they have a birthday party for those whose birthday falls in the month. Do you suppose I should put on my garden hat with the large crepe paper rose? Or would that be a bit too dramatic?

So then, I better stop dilly-dallying here.
