| The Baby grand where our robot always got stuck and of course Bud! |
Morning everyone! I have been a busy girl since last Friday when I last posted. Don't ask me what I have done as most of it is a blur.
We had Roscoe (Sissy's Corgi) while she was gone which filled our days in many ways, and we deep cleaned Sissie's house while she was gone. We absolutely love the Robot vacuum and were astounded by how well it worked. This will be a God send for Sissy.
Husb and I bought one way back when, no docking station etc. But I remember it being rather expensive.
We thought it would help keep up with the Cat hair and our house was entirely carpeted on three floors except for the kitchen bathrooms and laundry room. Ours did not work that well and continually got stuck on a baby grand piano leg and whined. I would set it and come home from the office and there it would be screaming from a piano leg. It got to the point where it just went to one particular leg, grabbed on and hollered. So, it went bye-bye, and we bought a very expensive Shark vacuum (which we still have) to replace our very old Sears canister vacuum that we bought used when we first married 40 years ago.
Yes, we grow old with our appliances!
Well, these robot vacuums have vastly improved, and I love the name Clean Elizabeth. Sissy is such a card! She is thrilled.
I have been doing very well with eating down the freezers, but still have a very, very long way to go. Like maybe two more months and I will be able to start really cooking again.
WE finished a jig saw puzzle while Sissy was gone and started another one which is very fun. I made a homemade chicken soup on Tuesday night and Sissy came for dinner and she cooked last night and spent the night with us and worked on the puzzle. WE really try to do three or four meals together every week to help us both whittle down the havoc that I have created in our freezers!
There is enough chicken soup for dinner tonight and it allowed me to use up three containers of chicken broth, veggies that had seen their better days and frozen chicken pieces.
We both still have so many baking supplies left over from Christmas baking, so today I am going to make a couple of loaves of cranberry orange poundcake which freezes beautifully. Dessert for two weeks.
I also want to make those date oatmeal cookies Sissy came up with which are to die for.
The weather is actually turning warmer (Hallelujah!). Maybe I can finally get out of three layers of clothing which can be a bit restrictive. Both Husb and I have really suffered from the different weather here in the west, thirty-six years of east coast weather has changed our bodies. WE will eventually get used to it, but it will take a couple of years, as it did when we moved east.
I was up at 5:00 this morning and watched the Sun come up and we can actually see the sun for the first time in almost three weeks!
I have done some morning chores as it is now 7:45 and I will let Sissy sleep until 8:30. I know she did not come to bed until midnight. She has a Bridal fitting at eleven so this will give her time to wake up and get to getting.
I must do a small grocery shop today and I mean small and put gas in the car. I do not know what Sissy needs from me today, but I will be there for her.
Now I am going to read a couple more blogs and get on with my day!
Have a great and productive day!
Hugs,
Kay
