Orange Glo

Okay so the bare wood is clean but dried out and I needed to look through what I had. 

I could only think of finishing the half a bottle of Orange Glo and the Mineral Oil I had and purchased paint brushes at Dollar Tree.

I poured the Orange Glo into a cup and thought I had enough! I did the back and underneath first before I replaced the S hooks (from 2010) and rehung the swing to do the front.

Three rungs shy of finishing I panicked. Do they still make Orange Glo?

I found it on Instacart at Home Depot and Big Lots. I decided to order it from Big Lots.

When I read the back I decided to do a search and at Orange Glo dot com they explain they are a Canadian based company and their formula is Golden Oil in the US and UK. Only sold through QVC which is out of stock right now. 

I will be trying what I purchased and ignore the instructions.

Update: I’m back to where I began with only a half a bottle left! 

After I did the three rungs I went over the front again. 

I found cute cushions but the swing is curved. I’ll have to do a sit test later.

Power Washed Before & After

I had delivery people turning me in!

Anyway, Chad didn’t get the threshold cleaned but the door wall still looks fabulous!

I had picked up the door mat to take to the backyard and asked Scott to add it in after all.

Ta da!

The ivy shadows were a specific disclaimer on the contract.

This is now the “before” for my address picture!

The color was definitely brought back from 14 years of wear

I would rather go shabby chic on this just to get the grime off. This has always been bare wood stain without it being sealed. Since I purchased the house 17 years ago!

Nothing like out-doing the sidewalk!

 

July Norwex

Norwex here

This month I will be sending out the Fall catalog from the corporate office. 

I couldn’t pass on the convenience!

No VIP party this month but we did five together and here is the Norwex vacation list

Regal Reports

I get 3 Sparklers and 2 Jacks for July 3rd and 4th.

Whoo Hoo 🧨

I have hot dogs/buns. Ketchup and Onions or Mustard and Pickles are my choices. I’m skipping the extras,

The Safety Shot was a free sample at GoPuff. I’m a drinker! (so drink responsibly and all that druggies)

My current choices on the Regal app (I spy) I watched the previews only. I’ll try the AMC app

- Fly Me to the Moon

- Reagan

In EW they were talking about a movie named Here. 

There’s also a Horizon Part 1 and 2 that was reported.

Update: The Regal app was deleted and replaced with AMC. The only other movie was

- Daddio

As far as July 4th went the Jack and Coke were gone on the 3rd and I had two cars drive by. On the 4th only one car drove by but the Sparklers over two days were worth it. 

Taquitos instead of hot dogs. The Safety Shot drink I got for free tasted okay but was like aspirin in a can. Didn’t notice much difference.

Weird

This isn’t code right?

Had to try it from GoPuff

It’s now a requirement 

Too late for me but it’s awful! 

They honk and don’t read the walk sign or know that pedestrians have the right of way in the crosswalk. Typical intimidation.

I’ve been entering sweepstakes again and won this scarf for being in the first people to enter category! I currently have Continental tires and need new ones so why not? This is the front and back and I was told a racing scarf.

Quit laughing… they have to be hearty! Here are the three Flower Rockets at 23 days germination  

It was an odd 17 days offline. 

I walked to Family Dollar/Dollar Tree or Thorntons every day. 

My latest find (project) consisted of over the door racks and silicone ice trays.

I have lots of Norwex drying and didn’t want hooks. When I put them on they kind of looked like door pulls and not so bad!

I had an old dish mat that always leaked (just terry cloth) but I had the idea to put it in the drawer and thought it looked like a jewelry box! I’ll have to see if I can find them again. I have five more drawers.

Meanwhile my old dish rack needed to go and since I eventually will be purchasing Norwex Dish Mats I picked up this one in the Dollar Tree section. It’s microfiber so not so leaky. It looks more like a placemat though.

Two silicone ice cube trays for summer!

Update: Okay so the witches are having a fit and this is what I do so GO TO HELL

1. It’s the level of the income and the property

2. You ruined my house

3. You have mutilated me

4. You tell everyone it’s my fault and lie and steal 

5. You charge me differently and have been here 20 years 24/7 following me around everywhere in America 

6. I have only “chosen” four things so far. You only have legal access to: the sidewalk and the street

- the color of my house in 2010

- one window in 2007

- 3 flowers I planted “for fun” in 2024

- and the planter on the left side that wrapped around to the backyard is gone. Started in 2014 and finished for now in 2024

Your god Sulliman is an enemy of my nation and also my GOD
