I wonder what the pups will think…

I’ll be throwing away my other living room rug on Thursday. I am so glad to do this since this rug (and the smaller rug I tossed out a few weeks ago) is worn so thin that it was like standing on the bare floor.
Vacuuming was useless, both rugs were so interwoven with short stiff dog hairs, they looked awful no matter how often I vacuumed them.
To top it all off I’d grown rather tired of them. Twenty years of lounging around on my floors is quite long enough.
Below you can see my new rugs. One is a 10 by 7 and the other is a 5 by 7 and no fringe! Gosh, I hated that fringe on the old rugs. All my dogs liked to snack on the fringe and my vacuum cleaner did too. The colors will go well with the furniture, and with everything so muted and neutral, if I so desire, I can go hog-wild on wall color or accents.
You all have a good one!

Summer siestas here we come
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I am so pleased with Overstock.com. This was the first time I’ve ordered anything from them. I ordered a new rope hammock from them on the 10th and it arrived on the 14th. Wow, that was fast since I only got the E-mail saying they shipped it the night of the 13th.
For several years I’ve had this lovely, heavy-duty stand sitting in pieces because I hadn’t replaced my old hammock that, due to circumstances beyond my control, got wrecked by a couple of visitors.
I sure did miss that hammock. There’s nothing like relaxing in one on a hot summer’s evening or snoozing in the shade of the magnolia in the afternoon after working in the yard. A hammock beats the heck out of any lawn chair by far.
This one is wide enough that DH and I can easily snuggle on it and watch the stars. I can’t wait for the summer meteor showers now. They call it ‘The Presidential’ size. It’s so wide that if I’m in the center and stretch out my arms I don’t touch either side.
My only problem will be trying to figure out where to store it when it’s not hanging on the stand.
