A couple of things-August 22, 2017

First of all, we did check out the eclipse yesterday. Since we only have partial coverage here it was not as spectacular as it was in the path of totality. But it was wonderful to feel the heat of the sun gone and the stillness of the air was interesting. Neither lasted long enough.

You can see a slight bit of red/orange on the edges.

I loved the pictures of the eclipse in some places where they got a

complete red/orange sun. It was so pretty.

 

On a completely different subject, Jerry refinished a table, a first for him, and I wanted to share the end result. The table was his mother's. It had been damaged before we were able to bring it to our house.

 

While he was sanding we discovered that this table was

very poorly made and the top is not real wood, it is plywood.

However, I think Jerry did an excellent job of making it look

like real wood.

The funny part of this is that we both forgot the leaf was in a closet. So after he brought it into the house we decided if we have company and need the leaf we will just put a nice table cloth on it.
