Day 2 of my vacation.

Well still it rains. With no cable or disposable income we
have quickly grown tired of the avenues of entertainment
available to us. As was once quoted in the classic
movie "Airplane"....."Looks like I picked the wrong week to
stop sniffing glue".

This morning I awoke to what sounded like gravel being
shaken in a shoe box. Being understandably curious I
donned my Eeyore flannel pants and best zip-up polar fleece
jacket and went downstairs to investigate.

I immediately found the source of the noise. My husband
had decided to clean his metal detector finds. In an old
plastic OJ container he had placed $20.00 in corroded dimes
in to a slurry of homemade cleaning soloution and was
shaking the lot around in an attempt to restore them to a
shining pristine state. I am not sure what he used or in
what amounts but I am pleased to report we now have $20.00
in beautiful blue dimes.

As he continues his experiments I have decided to try and
make the best of the weather conditions presented to me.
Since we now have a rather large river flowing through our
back yard I think I will take advatage of such a rare
opportuniny and am planning on doing some boating in our
back yard. I have fashioned a flotation device out of old
milk jugs and am planning on launching in after another cup
of tea. I was told by the ducks in my garden that around
the corner there was a nice set of rapids I could try. I
only hope my trash bag life vest is up to the challenge....
