I used the whitewash stain and put a coat of stain on the inside of the bookcase to disguise the sloppy brush work. It sort of worked, the inside doesn't look too bad now. This was a last ditch effort before hauling the thing to Goodwill. We took a little bike ride around the neighborhood before stowing the bikes for the season and went back to cleaning up the condo. I finished the story "Burglars" and posted it to ASSTR. I'm now working on the sequel, "Alice Returns". It feels good to be writing again. We called Craig and Debbie to get Dsrshelle's address to send a Sympathy card for her Mother's death this week. The funeral is tomorrow. We drove to Target before the Michigan party and filled the card out in the Publix parking lot and mailed it at the mailbox conveniently in front of the Pack and Mail store. We went to the MI party at 6 PM where there were h'orsedeovres and drinks. The buffet was very nice, much better than the NY/NJ one last week. Doo Wop Denny was the entertainment. He is quite good and played some very nice dance music which is pretty popular. The couple we sat with was from Lancaster, PA. They have been Ballroom dancing for 10 years and were quite good. Travel tomorrow isn't looking too good. There is a huge rainstorm covering the SouthEast which we would drive into.
