Found One . . .

basement

Been lookin for a generically messy/cluttered basement for several years. I found this one today. It is the best I've been able to come up with. I really don't think it is all that messy or cluttered . . . but definitely generic, don't ya think??? Sometime ya have to make do with what you have to make do with. Gonna use it for my eBay profile and a couple other things I've been thinkin about.

Today my favorite cousin, Cheryl, and I (No apologies today to all my other favorite cousins . . . Its just that I was with this cousin today . . . that's my definition of a favorite cousin . . . i am almost always available for lunch or dinner . . . It'll move you up in the rankings . . . HONEST !!). Now where was I . . . Oh, we went to the Toledo Art Museum. The actual art museum is pretty cool. Musta taken a long time to paint those portraits. I have no idea how they knew where to start on the canvas, keep everything in proportion and have room for everything.

The best part of the trip for me was the Glass Pavilion across the street from the museum. I like glass. I can stare at a colorful piece of glass for ever, especially when the sun is shining through it . . . really doesn't take much to entertain me most of the time. The building is something you don't see anywhere but there. All glass walls . . . actually 2 glass walls with 3 or 4 feet between them. The doors are very tricky. Ya have to stop about it to make sure there really is a door where you think it is. Got there in time to see a glass blowing demonstration. Took about 45 minutes to make a bowl. The interior was a peach/orange color and the exterior had a lot of reds & maroons in it. Definitely wasn't they first time they made a bowl. There is a glass blower north of me in West Unity. I ought to see how many blobby paper weights I can make before I get lucky and come up with something that can be indentified as something other than a blobby paper weight.

P.S. There is rain in the forecast for tonight and there is also a flood watch for the Tiffin River. Knew it wouldn't be long. This is gonna happen almost everytime there is rain in the forecast till we have our almost annual summer drought . . . I say almost cause we didn't have a drought last summer.
