Hi Tricia and Conrad,
<grin> Okay, are you ready? I confess. I have a simple indulgence.
1 - A screen door bonnet is similar to a fitted pillow case that I slip
over the top of the screen door on days when the sun comes in too
strong for me to read my newspaper while sitting in my comfy chair. I
like having sunlight on the floor, up the sides of my chair and over my
legs, but not in my face. Voila` - a bonnet was born. Sometimes
silliness runs rampant.
Can't you tell? It doesn't take much to please me. Sandie says I'm low
maintenance.
You asked the question !!
2 - Corner cornices are something we noticed right away in our '89 32'.
They are the wood trim and fabric crowns on the end of our overhead
cabinets. There are two in the living room and two in the bedroom. The
fabric and wooden trim is held in place only with staples. It's simple
to change the fabric and press the wood trim back into the same holes
with a little tic tac for good measure.
As full timers living in small quarters, we noticed simple changes can
enhance the ambiance we feel during different seasons and holidays.
This Christmas we may buy Santa Claus fabric and sew up a new cover for
our catalytic heater. Our CAT cover can display anything we want.
Simple creations are easy to do. All of us have our quirks, don't we?
As a kid, my mother thought it was important for me to memorize what
famous people said. One of her favorite quotes was by Ralph Waldo
Emerson. He said: "To be simple is the best thing in the world." I
liked that one because keeping it simple was easy to do.
Aren't you glad you asked about corner cornices and screen door
bonnets? :-)
