Years ago Sandy & Jon Wolfmueller recommended them to us, so they could put a new pink watchband on my watch and it only took a couple of minutes for them to do it.<br /><br />I hope your poltergeist gives up and returns your eye glasses soon and I am with you about M.I.R. go away, but I am not wishing it comes back another day.cousin nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827950417863497141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018156447654950017.post-57825105841693038942017-08-25T16:15:29.906-05:002017-08-25T16:15:29.906-05:00I went to Baublitt's and my new leather watchb...I went to Baublitt's and my new leather watchband is now attached to my old watch and is prominently featured on my wrist! And it only cost me a small labor charge! I'm thrilled! (BTW they're the ones who referred me to Gibson's!) Thanks for the idea!<br /><br />Eyeglasses are still in the clutches of the poltergeist - probably in a parallel dimension or something!<br /><br />Rain is coming shortly per the radar, so I'm going to go put the dogs indoors now. <br /><br />Stiil, I gotta say: MIR, go away and come again another day!Mari of the NoMadsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018156447654950017.post-47594639399546941652017-08-25T10:14:46.645-05:002017-08-25T10:14:46.645-05:00Hi Mari!

I may have a solution on getting your watch back on your wrist—go to Baublitts, on Water Street. They are fabulous people and are totally qualified to put your watch on your new hypo-allergenic leather watch band.<br /><br />Have you found your eye glasses yet?cousin nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827950417863497141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018156447654950017.post-88393556874692462282017-08-24T21:05:57.241-05:002017-08-24T21:05:57.241-05:00And it isn't ending yet.

I was referred to Gibson's where I did find the watchband I wanted but was then told the person that worked behind the counter and could put it on my watch for me was not here today. I asked how long she'd be gone and they didn't know, because she is on "leave". I am now the proud owner of a new hypoallergenic watchband in its original container - not on my watch, which still features its ratty OLD hypoallergenic watchband.<br />I think I'll wait until MIR is gone before I try Gibson's again to see if the 'watch lady' is back from 'leave'. Meanwhile I hope the Poltergeist doesn't lose my new watchband!Mari of the NoMadsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018156447654950017.post-25226136995630987562017-08-24T08:22:39.435-05:002017-08-24T08:22:39.435-05:00Hi Cousin Susie and Mari! Susie, I am glad that yo...Hi Cousin Susie and Mari! Susie, I am glad that you weren't here visiting us, because you might have tried to burn down our beloved trailer, but I do wish that you would come visit us.<br /><br />Mari, thank you for the power outage report. A few people, in the big H-E-B, were talking about the freakish power outage. The Post Office being out of stamps is weird, but it does not surprise me, because things like this are common during M.I.R. time.<br /><br />That is weird about your glasses disappearing and I am wondering if you might have a poltergeist problem, too. Last week, when we were working on our floor I grabbed my palm-nailer that was in my office, so I could take it over to the property, so I could use it. But when I got ready to go over to the property—I could not find my palm-nailer.<br /><br />Tony and I spent over 20 minutes looking for it, but we never found it. And that is why I had to buy a new palm-nailer. I know that it must be some where in The Cabin—but only The Shadow knows where it is. cousin nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827950417863497141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018156447654950017.post-56966112457361308852017-08-24T02:46:42.459-05:002017-08-24T02:46:42.459-05:00Thanks for the reminder about MIR, Nancy.

All but the tiny denominations, like 1 and 2 cent stamps. They promised to get them in the next day.<br /><br />Then today I pulled the minivan up to a gas pump only to have the attendant run out of the convenience store to tell me all power was out from something that blew up at Del Norte earlier! Power was out all the way to 5 Points! No gas for me nor others that were unsuspectingly pulling to the pumps!<br /><br />Then there's the fact that last Friday I lay down to read, laid my glasses down on the bed and fell asleep for 2 hours. I woke up in the same position I had been in when I fell asleep. I haven't seen my glasses since then. They can NOT have gone anywhere, but they did.Mari of the NoMadsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018156447654950017.post-48114713051622954732017-08-24T00:14:43.731-05:002017-08-24T00:14:43.731-05:00OH I am so easily spooked, at this point I probabl...OH I am so easily spooked, at this point I probably would have burned the house down ;) Susie G from Fort WorthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
