Wind
The wind from the southeast has the ability to lift the cover of our mail slot on the west side of the house. Before I realized what it was, I did have some weird thoughts.
Dennis headed downtown to the laundry this morning with a load of carpet rag rugs and one load of kitty basket blankets. I sure appreciated getting that laundry basket empty.
While I had the quiet of the house to myself, I needed to find the answer as to why we had gotten bumped off of HULU. There are several programs on it that both Dennis and I enjoy. I do not like this type of technical quagmire. By nine forty, all was well. Where is that Channel 12 with Chuck Pessac? Life seemed so much easier then.
With my Murphy wood wipes I tackled my parent’s glider rocking chair. For seventy five years I have dusted all the spindles, nooks and crannies. It doesn’t get easier. I do appreciate being the caregiver of this jewel. Without a doubt, furniture is not built like this anymore. Years ago I did have my carpenter reinforce the veneer seat. Special family memories can be evoked with each wipe of the Murphy wood cloths.
While I had the Murphy wood wipes out I also tackled our Oak refractory table. I can squat down far enough to get the job done. The butt cheeks will be bucking for a while. I think it’s important to feel your body’s parts to truly appreciate the fact that they still work.
Last week I bought a Hamburger Helper box of goodies, the stroganoff flavor. With browned ground beef, I have it prepared and plan on popping it into the oven for a full through heating, rather than relying on the stove top. We are oven meal people.
The wind remains whipping through the yards with a very dark gray cloud cover.
With that I take my leave.♥
