Addictions, crafts, and tears

So, I have a little addiction.....

Sunnies...lol



These are only my Crush sunnies....there are about 4 more pairs laying around in various places...

Crush Sunnies are my fave!!

You can't get them in the stores (unless you're in HI)...I buy them online because they are based out of Hawaii. My BIL turned me onto them. (my sister and her family live in Hawaii)
(Corinna, do you have these in your area??)


Here is their FB page, they have weekly deals - and even still, they are pretty cheap!!

AND they have great customer service....I had one pair that just kept snapping above the nose (they were snapping on their own, not because I did anything to them), and all I had to do was take a picture to email them, and they sent me a new pair...this happened like 3 times...it must have been a faulty box or something, but they were SUPER about it - and just kept sending me replacements.

(and no, I'm not getting anything for telling you about them)

Part of my summer projects is to take THIS chair....



and repaint it (for the 3rd time) into a beachy theme...sigh....lol.

I kind of like having a black seat cover, so I won't be able to see the dirtiness of it - lol...

SOOOOO....my question is this....do you think if I paint it all black and then go back over it with teal, green, yellow, orange colors to paint flowers, suns, surfboards, or whathaveyou, that it'll still look beachy??

So this was yesterday's picture of Debby....



That might LOOK scary, but it was really just a lot of bark and no bite...and prevented us from going out...

Today, it looks more like this...



There's nothing really over us according to the map, but it's still pretty windy....although I DO see some clear spots in the sky, JUST enough to give me hope!
Hope is gone...it's POURING again...

Yesterday, hubs had to go to a viewing for a Fire Fighter that passed the other day. So sad...
The guy was only 50 years old.
So young.

He didn't die while on duty, so there's not much reporting on it, but it has made a HUGE impact on the FF community.



Do you see the black stripe on his shield on his chest? That's what they do when one has "fallen"

They also do it to the trucks....




So, hug your kids and loved ones a little tighter tonight, because you really just never know.
