New Windows in April New Plantation Shutters Today UTILITY AND PLEASURE

 My "original" (1973) windows were (to quote a hymn) "weary and worn and sad".

All were metal framed; the larger ones were louvered with crankshafts (which were decidedly cranky!)



Good riddance!



I replaced them in April 2023 with state of the art, hurricane resistant windows via POLUSA CONSTRUCTION  of Sarasota  -  they are the best.


 


New windows installed. 

It was time to ditch the internal Venetian Blinds -  do you remember those ghastly metal ones which brought shame on Venice!  

Out they went, in favour of internal Plantation Shutters, which I'd ordered from Window Décor and Design in Venice, FL  upon the recommendation of my colleague Ted C.

Out they went -  a bit too soon;  so for a while I relied on internal sheers.


O.K.  from outside, but no privacy inside.


The REAL THING  (100% Wooden) was installed today.


So lovely!

NEW home windows and shades  as a matter of utility;  and for the sake of beauty!

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
