And Saturday was busy too...

I had a number of errands, ranging from dropping off the necklace YAHT and discussing with our jeweler what we could do with it for me.  He has some ideas and I'll be looking at some mock ups this coming week.

He is also going to change the size of my wedding band so I can wear it on my right hand.  I have started wearing my college graduation ring on my left hand.  I have had a ring on that finger through two marriages going back to 1970.  I simply felt naked without the ring there and Mary is gone so wearing my wedding band wasn't feeling right either.

I picked up some more items for my bike.  Front and rear lamps so riding at dusk is less risky.  Also a pad for the seat because I have developed a pained tailbone.  Ingrid suggested I start with more padding on the seat and if that doesn't do it, then start replacing that seat for something that would work better.

Our guest bedroom has a small, semi-custom area rug that Mary and our friend, Terry, acquired years ago when Terry was our interior decorator.  Well, when Erika was here for the May 8th event, she commented that the rug really smelled.  And, sure enough, it did. It had several areas of doggie donation of the liquid kind.  I took it to a local cleaner and picked it up today.  $150 to clean a 5 x 8 rug!  It too is now part of my collection of rolled up area rugs in the living room, protected from the dogs by a near-permanent set of fencing to keep the dogs away.
