Another Sunday

We have established some sort of routine for Sundays...up at a reasonable hour...7 - 8, then breakfast minimalist with toast and butter or Kelly has toast and salmon with her cheese spread she has made. Then double up with our friends D and S and brocante (the verb). Off to the small and large villages of the Loire Valley in search of who knows what. My interest has waned in recent months, I don't want more stuff, just replacements that are "better" or very, very little in addition. I cook and so am always interested in apparatus, things that are sharp and pots and pans of copper and otherwise. Since my enthusiasm is low I buy little most of the time. Kelly is on the hunt for cloth, old cloth in good condition, sheets, yardage, linens of all kinds but she is very descerning so not much is purchased by her either. It HAS to be GOOD whatever it is. Nonetheless it is great fun and a good walk and we have taken to having picnics in mid brocantes and I love doing that part and I hope it pays D&S back for their fuel outlay every Sunday while hauling us to and from. We should kick in some sheckles too I think so will approach that with them soon.

Tomorrow we are off to Paris's north eastern sector...the 18th I think to load up two red arm chairs to replace those in the parlor. It's a trip and we have divided it into 2 parts, here to Fountainbleau then on to the city and the village that contains our goodies. Bought, of course, thru eBay for a song. By the time you pay for gas andluches, musee visits etc they aren't QUITE the bargain they were but heym we have two new chairs (to us) and finish the house a bit more. It's a good deal.

The Nansulate paint company has NOT notified us of anything by email or otherwise.
All silence from Florida where the company headquarters is. They had promised to email us this last week with the shipping info, alas...nothing of the sort happened.
I even examined our isp's grey mail server for any sign, nothing. What's next? Take then to court I guess and sue. We can't wait all summer for the stuff, it's been three months already. The project is stalled and we are out the 500+ US dollars. I contacted the Florida State Attorney General's Office and the Better Business Bureau as well two weeks ago. I'm exasperated and not a happy camper.
I want the Nansulate paint and I want it now.
I guess I'll have my daughter call them once again and then start the paperwork to sue them.
