The light in the back foyer was blown so I went to Home Depot looking for an energy efficient solution. I bought some kitchen under the counter flourescents to try out. I stopped in Krogers and bought a mini CF 60 watt bulb which fits very nicely into the fixtures. I'll replace the others with 60 watt CF's and get more than twice the light for half the power. Finally heard from Richard today. He said he will have the awards list tomorrow. We'll see.
When Libbie came home we worked some more on the breakfast area wallpaper before going to Home Depot to pick paint colors. We bought another package of under cabinet lights which means 6 more. The first 3 added some nice lighting to the counter although at the expense of looking like an ad on. We also went to the Body Works store and got packages of hand cleaner. Explored Apex driving through the Orchards of Apex and the Villages of Apex amazed at all the construction that has totally stopped. Endless rows of streets and stop signs with curbs and street lights but no houses. Drove through downtown Apex and stopped at the bookstore we didn't know was there. Bought a $1 bag of books.
