♥ Monday is here, ready or not... ,-)

Yet another sign that Autumn comes...  I need to put 'M and C Hand Cream' on my hands, every time I wash them now.  This happens in fall, winter, spring.  In summer, I can get away with not applying it, after every hand washing.  ~~~   And of course, the fact of 50 degree temps in early morning, is another sign.

I'm so tired of the pool by now.  "Uncle A." can't use it any more this season.  The "Grands" are not using it, any more.  But it still needs work, which we are just not doing.  Nor or the "Grands."  I say close it down, and button-it-up for winter, NOW.  Not wait 2 more weeks, to the usual Labor Day pool closing time.  Must "press my veiws" with a bit more ........  vigor.  ,-)   -grinnnnn-

(Selling pretty gowns...  From an old place on Franklin Square)

The local paper says that some house (with which "Uncle A." is familiar) was sold, after the old people who owned it, died.  Just a not-very-imposing old house, sold.  But!!!!!   We know that the old man, collected license plates for years and years and years.  The old man had "Uncle A." down in his cellar, looking at them, and looking for an old license plate, which would go with his  old 50's truck.

When I say this elderly man had a collection, I mean he had a collection!!!!   We always wonder if anyone (they had no children) knew enough to gather up those collectible license plates????   CALL  "The Pickers"!  Make money!  Such things are collectible!  But, who knows...

It would be a shame if no one every appreciated what was down in that old cellar.  And thus, if all those collectible items, end up on a dump.

(Balcony, over entry door...)

I just love all the little balconies, to be found on old buildings, in my city.  :-)  Just love them.  Our first Granddaughter, whom I took care of for years, loved them too.  :-)

The start of another week.  Kids are getting ready to return to school, after Labor Day (in this area).  Summer is winding down.  The biggest race of the Season is coming up, this weekend.  After that, many of the old mansions will begin closing down, and getting "buttoned up," for the winter.  I'd better get going, if I'm going to camera-capture lots of the beautiful flower displays at summer homes, around here.  :-)
