MIXED METAPHOR

                                   TRANSITIONS ARE HARD.  I'M GOING FROM GREEN AND BROWN TO RED AND BLUE.  IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF HURRICANE IRENE WHICH IS HITTING CONNECTICUT AND NOT US.  WE WILL GET WIND AND ONE INCH OF RAIN.  WE  WERE SUPPOSED TO GET  A FULL FORCE BRUSHING BUT IT CHANGED OVERNIGHT UNBEKNOWNST TO ME.  BUT WE HAD ALREADY TAKEN DOWN OUR OUTDOOR RED,WHITE AND BLUE HOT AIR MOBILES AND HUNG THEM FROM THE RAFTERS IN THE SUNROOM.  SO THEN WE HAD TO CHANGE COLOR MOTIFS TO MATCH THE BALLOONS.
                                SO I REMOVED THE GREEN AND WHITE IVY LAMP AND REPLACED IT WITH A RED AND BLUE TIFFANY LAMP.  THE GREEN CANDELLABRA WAS MOVED TO THE KITCHEN AND A RED ROSES PAIR OF CANDLESTICKS TOOK ITS PLACE.  THE IVY DECORATED CLOCK WAS MOVED TOTHE BACK OF THE ROOM BY THE GREEN CURTAINS.  THE IVY LAMP IS NOW IN THE LIVING ROOM. 
                                A YELLOW SUN MOBILE NOW HITS YOU ON TOP OF THE ROOM WHEN YOU APPROACH THE DESK.  BUT IT'S MADE OF FELT SO IT DOESN'T HURT.  WHETHER THE MOBILES WILL EVERY TURNIN THE WIND IN THE SUNROOM IS DEBATABLE.  THE HURRICANE WINDS SHOULD MOVE THEM.  THE 10 BY 15FT ROOM HAS 5 SLIDING DOORS.  SO THERE SHOULD BE SOME WIND.
                                  IT'S ALL VERY WHIMSICAL NOW IN THE SUNROOM WHICH WAS QUITE HUNTING LODGE BROWN AND GREEN.  I WANT TO DECLUTTER BUT IT'S HARD TO PART WITH OUR MEMORABILIA AND UNCERTAIN WHERE TO STORE IT.  THEBASEMENT IS MOLDY AND MUSTY ESPECIALLY AFTER A HURRICANE.  SPEAKING OF HURRICANES, OUR CONDO IN FLORIDA WAS RUINED BY THE 2004 HURRICAES.  ALL THE DRY WALL HAD TO BE REMOVED.  WE BOUGHT IT FOR
$70,000 IN 2000 AND SOLD IT GUTTED FOR $240,000 IN 2005.  WE RECEIVED $30,000 FROM THE INSURANCE FOR DAMAGES.  WE WOULD HAVE HAD MORE BUT THE CABINETS WEREN'T COVERED BECAUSE WE HADN'T BOUGHT THE RIDER IN 2004 WHEN THE INSURANCE COVERAGE CHANGED. 
                                WE BOUGHT A HOUSE IN TITUSVILLE ON THE GOLFCOURSE IN 2004.  WE BOUGHT A TOWNOUSE IN A BETTER NEIGHBORHOOD AND ONA BETTER GOLF COURSE IN 2007.  THE ECONOMY CRASHED IN SEPTEMBER 2008 AND WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TOSELL EITHER UNLESS WE TAKE A BIG LOSS.  OUR AGENT PRUDENTIAL IS SELLING THE ONE NEXT TO US WHICH IS IN PERFECT ORDER FOR $159,000.  THAT'S $100,000 LESS THAN WE PAID IN 2007/
