Help Wanted-can’t wait until next CC
I have a few problems with the way my painting is turning out. The walls are fine, but I’m concerned about the white trim. If anyone would be able to offer some advice, please let me know or stop by Monday after 5:30 pm. I also have carpet samples here that I could use a second opinion on. Or I could come home for lunch if that works better—call me at the office 844-0448 on Monday if you can help.

Sunroof vs. Moonroof courtesy of Yahoo
“Sunroof” is the generic term used to describe an operable panel in a vehicle roof which can let in light and/or air. “Moonroof” is a term created by Ford in the 70s, yet is now used generically to describe glass panel inbuilt electric sunroofs.
Hmmm, so all moonroofs are sunroofs, yet not all sunroofs are moonroofs? We found further clarification—“sunroof” is the term originally used to describe a metal panel that would only allow light or air in when opened. A “moonroof,” on the other hand, is a glass panel that can allow light in even when it is closed (provided, of course, you slide back that nifty fabric-covered panel to expose the glass).
True sunroofs, those made just of metal, appear to have gone the way of 8-tracks in automobiles, and these days, most “sunroofs” are really “moonroofs”—panels of tempered glass, usually tinted, that tilt up to allow a flow of air, or slide back into the roof entirely, giving the car occupants a brief but tantalizing glimpse of life in a convertible.

Seattle Trip
I guess I am the opposite of CH. I took no photos. I did observe a woman taking a photo of the wine she was drinking at the restaraunt which made me think of the European tour.
No flight problems going or coming. No weather problems either. We are 3 for 3 visits on sunny days in Seattle. We think people are fibbing to keep Seattle from becoming over crowded. Lots of diversity in Seattle. People watching was interesting. We did a lot of walking. I forgot how many hills there are. Bill had to walk 12 blocks from church to the hotel. He arrived huffing and puffing. He could not find a cab. Fortunately the walk was mostly down hill. My daughter’s townhouse is very well appointed with amazing bay view from her desk and has lovely landscaping which we improved by adding three bluberry bushes. She has a huge (3 ft) rosemary plant which she had no idea what it was and many interesting shrubs. There is some outdoor space and one small balcony. Details of our spa visit will be shared next week at the chocolate making. Who wants a ride besides Kate?

any collections?
Ladies,
I am taking my paperweight collection out of the display case, at Pike, today. I have a lady who is putting in a Photography collection for October. Do any of you have a collection you could put in for November or January? Since I’m in charge I thought I’d ask friends and call some teachers. I really enjoyed going to liberty Ill, with Elliott, last weekend, for a weekend wedding. We went to the Friday night Rehearsal Dinner, the church Wedding, and the Saturday night reception. It was our Ohio friend’s fourth son who got married. We sat at the family table and had a nice time together, for a change. I usually go with girlfriends, like this weekend, so it was nice being with Elliott. Tomorrow Judy and I are going to the St. James Art Fair, until Sunday. It’s in Louisville. Next Friday, Our first Friday closed, I’m going on a Day Trip with Donna and Shel. Sunday starts the new library hours. Last night was the last time I worked until 9:00 now the latest in 8:00/

Apples aplenty
We took the girls to Stuckey Farm on Saturday - the trees are heavy with beautiful ripe apples. We could have picked our bags full and not moved from a few trees in one row. They are 75 cents a pound this year. I remember waaaay back in the day (from the time I first went in 1983 etc) they were 23 cents a pound. A gallon of cider is now $5 and last year it was around $4. But oh well, still worth it for freshness and taste.

trip and back
Saturday we went to Bill’s home town (about a 3 hour trip without stops). It was homecoming weekend and there is a dinner for alumni and the homecoming dance. Bill knows everyone or what family they come from so he really enjoyed smoozing. We returned at 2:00a. Everything over there is so green. I guess they got all the rain this summer before it got here. The boys stayed the night with my son-in-law and they frolicked with Charlie.
I went to the doctor on thursday and he said the pain in my left shoulder is rotator cuff. (the doc is on the field for Colts home games so he knows his injuries) I have exercises to do and I have been icing it which gives some relief. I think that walking the dogs may have jerked my shoulder around. I am sure that I will manage to lift chocolate on tuesday.

Happenings
Dave left Thursday and flew back to Cincinnati where Rachel and I picked him up with an hour to spare before we went to a wedding (Luke Field). It is nice going to weddings - takes us back to when we were married!
Sunday we drove home - he was here 2 hours before heading back to the airport to fly to Philly for a 1 day meeting - he’ll be home late Monday.
I actually drove to Cincinnati for the first time all by myself! I told Rachel now that I have done it once - I’ll come see her every weekend and maybe once during the week too!

Which of you can go to Barb’s for CC?
Let me know who can go to CC, tomorrow, so I can let Barb know. I’m definitely going. I have lots to share and a library story that’s hard to believe. Carol, it sounds like you will be at CC. What about the rest of you? I can email Barb, tomorrow, while she is at work, or call her/

Home for sure
We didn’t have the chance to decide about being bumped - earlier birds got the worm I guess! But in the end, that was fine because we are happy to be home again. I couldn’t take in or process any more new sights and adventures anyway! We have it so good here in the US, and everyone we met in Europe told us the same thing. Lots of dissention over the governments and policies across the pond, just like here. Anyway, here we are, and I am full speed ahead in my real life again. Hope to finish up the photo albums that I got behind on during the last stops in Norway and England!
If I read things right, we are meeting at CarolFay’s this Thursday the 2nd?
