We enjoyed our 78°F days, but then the weekend brought us rain. The wind was terrible, but we still had breaks in the day to do some outdoor adventuring. We have a tree down, and a few large tree limbs down due to the high winds. Monday morning it was 21°F! A big swing in temperature for us.
If you saw my post about the "blind date" with a puzzle, I have some news about that. My husband said to toss it in the garbage and chalk it up as we were duped in the purchase.
I however, took photos, and contacted the store we purchased it at. Mind you, we bought it January 31st, and we just finished it. I was nice and polite, but to the point about our disappointment on the expense and product.
The store responded back to me. I'm told they purchase them from a vendor from California, and were as disappointed as we were. She said they were supposed to all be "new" puzzles. I explained to her that that the box was even falling apart.
They are looking into new vendors now, and we got a refund. It pays to inquire. Thankfully, I had taken a photo of the purchase while at the store too.
So we were not being duped by the store, and they were being duped by their vendor/supplier. If that is true. I do find it odd a business would buy pre-wrapped puzzles to sell. Why not wrap them yourself? Anyway, we got a refund, including tax.
I tried a suggested mix of essential oils on cotton balls, and placed them in a few windows, to deter those nasty orange ladybug pests from entering. The next morning there were 4 in the same window.
The weather on this particular day was absolutely fantastic. It was like a breath of fresh air (yes, and with windows open once again). I spared you from seeing all of my laundry, ha ha!
