St. Augustine, con't

Today we started with laundry and then a trip to Home Depot.  This is because, in vacuuming the carpet, a kleenex got sucked into the system.  All by itself. (I am not taking responsibility for the actions taken by the kleenex.)  Lee, because of the resourceful person he is, was able to remedy the situation, so now the vacuum cleaner is again working.  : )

I have meant to show Lee's handiwork for awhile now.  In order to make room for the parakeets, we removed a chair from the motor home and Lee made a cabinet for their cage.  We keep bird supplies in the cabinet - food, extra bowls, newspaper for the bottom of the cage, and so on.  Here is a photo of the cabinet.  We secure the cage with bungee cords, which works really well.  The doors match the cabinet doors in the motor home.  I think he did a really nice job - I am very pleased with it.




We did do a little bit of sight seeing today.  We visited the old town jail and a small museum of St. Augustine history.  It had a few interesting items.  Of special interest to my entomologist friends might be a "Boot Jack, cast iron in the shape of a bug, ca. 1890."  I assume it was used to aid in the removal of boots.  It is a handsome piece, colored, and good sized, perhaps 10-12 inches in length.

Tomorrow, we head for Sarasota!
