Sunday – Sunday
A warm gray day with plenty of wind brings about a late morning nap for Dennis. We did decide to take a road trip south and see what there was to see. When we got to Fairmont we realized that the city has had a fair amount of growth next to the freeway. I did put out a fair amount of shoe leather when we stopped at the Walmart on the south edge of Fairmont. English cucumbers on one end of the store and throat lozenges on the opposite end.
When we got home I had a pretty good amount of energy going and the kitchen range was in my sights. Kevin had given us a cleaning product “Fresh Start” a time back and it has been one “go to” cleaning product. The bottom of the kitchen sink cabinet is uncluttered. That attests to the effectiveness of this product. As the late afternoon stop at Perkins is serving as our hot meal for the day, I am continuing with the project as the supper hour is here. Taking the top off of a kitchen range, one almost looks with squinted eyes as you have no idea what has all been boiled over, spilled over or just drifted beyond the shroud of the burner. I have now moved on to having the oven door laying over the kitchen sink with Fresh Start putting a layer of goodness down to begin soaking through the greasy fumes of the last several months of roasting and baking. I had always had the bottom tray of the oven covered with tin foil. Well, when you run out of foil and there happened to be a pie that boiled over, the soiled tin foil came out and now it also needs to be cleaned.
What helps is that Dennis is always ready to help with the heft of the heavier items, removing and returning them. With daylight lasting a bit longer, I no longer feel like closing down by five or six in the evening. Oh, my, gosh! Think what I can accomplish after next weekend when we are in daylight saving time. Dennis, hang onto your suspenders!
