He had a wind storm that picked up his glass table and carried it right down into the neighbor's yard.<br /><br />He was very lucky the table had not hit someone or their pets.<br />Like yours, the glass shattered and was all over the place.<br /><br />Grannymar had a household tip the other day about what to use when you break glass and have to clean it up. She said to pick it up with a thick piece of bread because the chips of glass stick to the bread and you don't have to rinse it out and cut your hands, you just throw it out.Nancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-81506371841522380992010-11-01T16:02:12.808-04:002010-11-01T16:02:12.808-04:00Bummer about the table, sorry.

That's where I got my hubby his turtle necks. That was 2 yrs ago but they seem to have the things that we can't find in other stores. Its worth a try :)<br /><br />take care :)Looking to the Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13211255507065858940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-69470923472777823842010-11-01T13:42:10.294-04:002010-11-01T13:42:10.294-04:00It was tempered glass... looks like.

It always takes me a lot of days to feel comfortable going barefoot after breaking glass on the floor.<br /><br />My lantana are still blooming and my milkweed has recovered from the monarchs and some of it is blooming as well. I am amazed at the blanket flowers.. still blooming since mid spring.srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-19389807579137015712010-11-01T12:42:41.907-04:002010-11-01T12:42:41.907-04:00As someone who carried a shard in her left heel fo...As someone who carried a shard in her left heel for most of the summer, I can tell you be careful on that deck for a long time.<br />I try never to buy clothes for my husband or my son.
