I have the day off as I do laundry while the outside temps are SPRING like with birds chirping outside my window, write out medical bills that cause me to THANK GOD I'm still alive wishing I didn't have medical bills to pay, take pictures of the Parlour 'cause the lighting is just so-so and find a minute or two to put my thoughts down for all to read.
Sitting here in my house coat writing out what I hope to get down for the day. Coffee was delicious this morning as I woke up thinking about LIFE.
Across the street was more loud activity as City Workers dug a huge hole in the street to uncover the evils that lie below. Not sure why they were digging,
but it got my attention as I looked out the window on a nice January day.
Be right back. I can put the wet clothes in the dryer and put another load in the washer. Aren't we BLESSED to have these appliances.
ROBOTS. My Servants.
Speaking of laundry....how do you all wash your sweaters? Inside out? Normal wear and tear? Hand wash, air out or use gentle cycle on the wash machine? What about drying...air, gentle cycle in dryer, lay flat or hang just so so on a hanger???
My red sparkly dress sweater made her way to get laundered today and when I pulled her out of the machine she was inside out. Folding her just so-so and placing her on a plastic hanger, she will air dry until I can flip her the other way and turn her inside out.
Always wash my sweaters in cold water.
Yesterday as I walked past our backyard fence, I was brought back to reality that the fence will have to be replaced a section at a time as the funds are tight for such an activity. The wood that was used has not aged well. It curls and warps so badly. Two of the sections have been replaced. I decided I would buy throughout the WINTER some cedar boards and stack them in the back yard waiting for a window of time Hubby can rebuild this horrible fence.
Perhaps by Autumn, the fence will be looking great. So much to do.
Better run...the guest bed is wanting to be made and I need to wrap a package to mail on Friday. Think next week I will go ahead and purchase Valentines and candy for loved ones. I'd like to hang some over-sized valentines on the doors.
I am officially 60 and a half years old today. Half way mark made. That sure has gone fast. Zoom right into history.
Blessings to you in blogland!

They look so tiny in their sweaters all those years ago. I hand wash all my sweaters/ knits and dry them flat. Been doing yearly organizing today, donating ornaments I didn't use or am tired of. Good feeling getting stuff done.

Haha! They are robots, aren't they?
i have very few sweaters which are worn few times in the year.. and those i do have i take them to the dry cleaner for laundering. our one bin of Christmas decor multiplied like rabbits this year and became two bins. ??? sigh. need to reduce yet again. have been going through my clothes again and reducing those - almost done with the closet and on to the dresser. i need to be brutal in my quest! why do i still have 3 pair of high heels when i haven't worn high heels in over 10 years?! pity sake. crocs are my friend.
Hi Ann. It really is a good feeling to get stuff done. It puts perk into my life. Glad you stopped by.

Howdy Sherry. So glad you stopped by. I was thinking about panti-hose the other day. I seldom wear them anymore. Love going barefooted all year round in the hose. I only put crocs on when running outside to do a quick chore. I went through my closet AGAIN and decided that I need to thin it out AGAIN. I love the multi holding hangers where I can color coordinate my blouses and tops, skirts and slacks. Better hang onto those high heels another decade. You're going to need them.
grins.

Hello Sandi! Glad you stopped by. Yep, our appliances are OUR FRIENDS and servants. Not sure what I'd do without them. Sure glad we have these robots.
Blessings to you,
