At last!! A successful project

Or at least I think so, anyway...

I woke up this morning to find the dresser I had left on the front porch to dry covered in a heavy layer of dew. It was so wet that even the cats had no desire to walk on it...

I wasn't sure how it would hold up, but I crossed my fingers and left it to dry out yet again. (Rather than panicking and trying to wipe it dry -- who knows what I would do to the varnish...) I mean, come on... I'm saving it from a record-breaking tidal surge -- just how much damage could a little water do?

My gamble paid off and I returned home this afternoon to find a nice (and dry) freshly refinished dresser on the front porch.

I won't be taking any more chances though -- and I'll be sure Dave can squeeze in the time to help me get the thing indoors (and out of the reach of kitties) tonight. :)

Hey Luba!! Thank you so much! I hope you get this.. it's so hard to get email to actually go where it is supposed to for some reason.. I think it gets stuck in Mississauga!! *giggle* Hugs to you and your mom and Miss Sadie. Hope you are all doing well and it's not TOO cold for you. Gonna try to email you again tonight.. Keep your fingers crossed! -- Anita

I give up trying to leave comments, all that ever happens is I get this message:

But, I did try about 20 times to say WOW it's beeyoootiful....one must wonder why I have to get that across so badly, but I know you will understand. I just want my comments to go through! Darn Brownies!
