It snowed AGAIN! And, the weatherman says we are going to get another dose of the white stuff this afternoon, on into tonight. Dang... I do love snow but this is ridiculous. But, with being closed up in the house I am getting a bunch of stuff done. Maybe God sends the snow so we will slow down and take care of life instead of running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

I got to visit with my grandsons family last Sunday. The two great-grands are so sweet. The baby is 7 weeks old and his big brother is 3 1/2. How's that for a lot of Sweet Sugar!! And, believe me, I got my share.
I ran across this file card the other day. It has to be 35-40 years old. These are household tips from Heloise. She used to have a column in the newspaper every day and I followed her advice on cleaning the house religiously. Somehow, I veered off course in these later years and I wonder if I started back using them I'd be a better housewife. Housewife? You sure don't hear that term much anymore, do you? Since I've lost my hubby I wonder if the correct term would be 'housewidow'? Hmmm... just wondering.
Well, I guess I will run along now. Let's see....I've
1. Removed the breakfast dishes
2. I've loaded the dishwasher
3. Whoops, I haven't made the bed. You know, I did get up way too early this morning and I may need a nap later on.
4. I have picked up the papers and books. I even cleaned up the area around my computer monitor.
5. Haven't cleaned the bathroom.... but I did take a shower.
6. Didn't do the vacumning either. Don't do that every day.
7. A feather duster? Who the heck uses those anymore?
If I hurry up and complete my chores I may have time to watch some Olympics... or take that nap.
ZZZZZZZZZZZ.
I think you're right Latane. God gives us snow so we must slow down. I've always said that if it weren't for the snow, there'd be no Snow Angels. :) Enjoy a little snooze this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteNnnnnaaaaappppppp.....zzzzzz....
ReplyDeleteHope you took a "little snooze"!
ReplyDeleteI think a Swiffer duster thing might do instead of a feather duster these days.
ReplyDeleteThose great grandsons are precious.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your tooth problems. That is no fun at all.
Wishing you a nice Valentine's Day.
I think I should copy those instructions...maybe I would do better. I was thinking the other day that you don't hear the term Homemaker any more...
ReplyDeleteOh I am sorry, I experienced a dry socket once and really thought I'd prefer to jump off a bridge than have that pain. I remember Heloise, didn't she have grey hair prematurely? Beautiful photo of you and the grands and I say NAP :-).
ReplyDeleteCute post, Mom! And I love the picture of you with the great-grandsons! Very sweet! Yes, I suppose snow could be a reminder to stay IN and get things done! :-) I have gotten back to quilting Yvonne's quilt...it's coming along. Going back in there in a minute. Oh, I didn't understand all that advice about the goose photos...how do I make the border black with white writing? :-) I'm just NOT too computer savvy!
ReplyDeleteYou have reminded me of my early days as a newlywed. I used to make lists all the time. I was so forgetful! Naps are a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely! Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet picture of you with your great grands!!! Lots of love (and sugar!) there, for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the "vintage" housekeeping card.
