Got up at 5:00 - probably due to the plethora of cat naps I took yesterday! With only enough cream and Splenda for one cup of coffee - I went to Walmart, after enjoying it.
Good thing Walmart is open 24 hours and that I needed cream and Splenda...now I have a new runner by the patio door, a salad spinner, silverware, pillows and pillowcases and a microwave. And yes, I remembered the cream and Splenda! I got everything washed and put away, had a cup of coffee - chatted with my honey and had a delicious breakfast. As to not disappoint those that encouraged and or participated in my tiling project - I did not give up on the step of deCOUpaging! I sealed the acrylic paint this morning and hope the haze of the sealer goes away.

      
I was chatting with Paul and Betty when the electric company pulled up to cut down a dead tree that was nearing the power lines. They cut it down within 15 minutes. Unfortunately, their truck sunk into the soft ground on the easement and they were there for a couple of hours. Their winch broke and every turn of the tires sank them deeper into the mud. Carlo and I are very familiar with this problem from the time the Tahoe also was stuck in the mud at the easement. 
I drove down to Paul and Betty's to finish our visit and to give them the rug from the living room. I had lunch when I got back and it was just in time for GH. I didn't do much else - it started to rain. The rain and continued muddy grounds ruined another day of my plans to get some things done outside. I did accomplish all the inside tasks that I was looking to get done.
