Agreed, nice color. I love red oak too. Red oak is very common here.

We sawed about 3000 bd ft for all the trim/stairs/handrails,casing when we built. That color is pretty close to what we used in the house.
I bet your house is amazing!

We love oak, too. There's a lot of it in the house. All the cabinets, bathrooms too, and floors. Even furniture. I have a beautiful hand made oak trestle table.

I get to see it quite often.
(Mine is several degrees of black belt, and has three graduate degrees...)

Just pull up a chair and grab some popcorn...
Lucky you! 🥰

On our honeymoon, we wandered into some kind of sales pitch for timeshares, I think. Each couple had their own high-pressure salesperson.

The guy we had kept acting like my husband's best friend and virtually ignoring me. He asked a lot of what I considered very personal questions. Think - how much do you make, how much did you pay for this vacation, what are your goals, etc.

I kept shutting him down by saying it was none of his business, we weren't going to talk about that, etc. He finally leaned into my husband and asked him if he could control me. I was pissed! My husband asked, in what way? The guy said, "Are you just gonna let her keep talking to me like that?"

Let me tell you, I was about to go nuclear on his ass!

My husband leaned back, folded his arms across his chest, and said, "I don't see why not. She's doing a really good job so far!"
😅🥰😅

My favorite form of exercise is also forgetfulness...

Sometimes I do multiple sets of the same exercise in the same day.
Oh, gosh! Me, too! I took the trash out three times tonight! Trash & recycle day is tomorrow; I was so proud of myself for getting the bins out early. Then remembered I forgot to take stuff down. Did that. Came back up. Saw more that needed to go out! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
 
Asshole roosters. We had them at the farm. Had a healthy respect for those little bastards at an early age. Barn cats…ditto.

Not as cold this a.m. started out around 30f and by the time I hit the river it was 32. Heading to low 50’s which is perfect for a sunny day like it is.

Getting my dry goods ready for the figgy pudd’n and Norwegian apple cake. The arm wrestling is now on because SWMBO wants to make a roast beast w Yorkshire pudd’n? I don’t know if that will clash…I might just make it anyway…I want to soak it in brandy and light that sucker up! 🐦🔥🥮

His Highness may be disappointed but I bet he eats it!

Finishing off the decorating and odds and ends. Getting the schedule down for return to work. They’ll be happy to see me. Have a great day!

Figgy pudding is very different fron Yorkshire pudding. I think you could safely have both on Christmas day!

Try that with a multiple helping of ADHD as well!

At my age, I know there is no cure!
