There ought to be a law against companies that reorg under a different name, scamming people in the process. The real estate development company that built our house operated that way, going on to Arizona to build more houses with sloppy workmanship after its Southern California stint, as we learned years later.<br /><br />April Fool's Day brought us winter, or so we thought.

This last one did it in, I'm afraid, it was like a thick coat of paint - not one of Benjamin Moore's more successful products. The wood was old and worn to begin with, and we've been trying to stave off replacing it. wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-14705178080016716382014-04-07T20:01:06.309-04:002014-04-07T20:01:06.309-04:00That tee is so, um, random.

We do ours every year and have had some bad types of finishes-- the peeling one and the gummy one, especially. So the best finish we have found is a stain called Sikkens ( I think, I can always find this out). Not my favorite weekend, to say the least.<br /><br />V funny about your sister's experience; we know the founder who is the most sincere, sweet man.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175229460841379583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-83142022395661567492014-04-07T19:48:59.783-04:002014-04-07T19:48:59.783-04:00Hi, Teacups!

The thought process is always that pinched toes are painful. In the end I always look like I am wearing someone else's shoe and must concentrate to not lose one while walking. I think that your electric plaid blouse is a brilliant choice for your new skirt. The gray patterned sweater would also be a great look. I hope your sister was not disheartened.
