Home Happenings

Home Haven HOWDY! 
What a sweet thing it is to start my Monday morning out slow and leisurely!  I need this after a busy week-end.  Load of laundry in, sipping on morning coffee and Lil Miss has had her breakfast.  Folded some towels and drying the bed comforter. 

The comforter is so thick that it won't dry in the clothes dryer after several drying cycles...will have to take it out of the dryer and drape it over some chairs to finish drying.  Don't want to put it on the bed while still damp.  My floor dryer is out in the garage.  The utility room doesn't really have room in it to use my floor dryer.  AND storing it in my ut room isn't practical...takes up too much room in my sweet ut room, but don't want to get rid of it. 

The weather turned out snowy and cold...no clothes line drying.  Secret's out...i don't have an outdoors clothesline...need one?  Wouldn't work today anyhow.  When we lived on the farm, I ordered a folding wood floor dryer from www.lehmans.com  (Are you familiar with their old fashion products?)  because the farmhouse had no clothesline.  Against the landlord's wishes.  Can you believe that the landlady didn't want a outdoors clothesline to clutter the country view?  Ouch.  Being in the country and not wanting the animals to see wet clothing on a clothesline was a bit odd. 

We were using propane and our clothes dryer was a natural gas unit...I didn't have good vibes about using a converter so the entire time we lived on the farm I used the floor dryer and saved on the propane.  I learned to immediately take the dress shirts out of the washing machine and quickly hang them on hangers to dry.  It was kind of neat to have the shirts...most of them cotton...dry on a hanger then ready to hang in the closet when dry.  Blue jeans dried on the floor dryer...stiff and almost starched like.  Towels were rougher to the touch than I liked...but we managed.  Dress slacks were hung on the floor dryer and dried nicely.

It makes me wonder how people without a utility room manage/managed their wintery/bad weather laundry task when they have/had no clothes dryer.  House Beautiful would be altered a tad.

Lehman's has an accordian dryer that I think would fit in my present utility room between the little window and baseboard  heater.  Might order one of these.  Shall see.

My week-end was slow paced and pleasant!  Was yours?

Date Night with HUBBY was a Spangles WESTERN Hamburger with some fries dipped in catsup washed down with water.  Dessert was a strawberry sundae.  I had a hankering for ice cream drizzled in strawberry sauce.  Didn't eat the whole thing so I WAS A GOOD GIRL.

Onto a ON THE BIG SCREEN movie. 

We ventured out to see Matt Damon in ADJUSTMENT BUREAU.

Afterwards, a quick stop at TARGET.  I always check the dollar binds in a virtuous manner.

A safe trip home and kick off my shoes relaxin'.

AVERY NICE DATE NIGHT!!!

A politician's love story with a ballerina 

in which he discovers the hat wearing Adjustment Bureau

makes sure others are kept on the Chairman's course. 

Some language and one sexually suggestive scene

between an unmarried couple spending the night together

(they could have left this out and it wouldn't have hurt the movie),

some violence, lots of runnning. 

Thought it would be a thriller...it wasn't as much as I had invisioned it to be,

but was nice to get out for the evening.

 

Truthfully, watching this on a big screen tv would have been just as good as going to the movie theatre,

but we don't have a big screen tv...yet.

I'd rate it about a 6...1 the lowest rating to 10 the highest.

In the movie if the Ballerina stays in a relationship with the Politician,

 her dream of becoming a world known ballerina will be replaced

with the reality of her being just a Dance Instructor to nine year olds......Deanna here: as if being a dance instructor to nine year olds has no value?  The little dancers are eternal beings in God's economy. 

In this movie nine year old children are viewed as less important

than being a world famous ballerina.

Did you catch that?

NOW WHEN I SEE THESE HATS....I'LL BE WONDERING....GRINS.

Thought the best scenes in the movie were

1) when Politician David Norris (played by Damon) walks into a conference room and his co-worker is frozen in time while the Adjustment Bureau  resets his mind without him knowing it. 

2) Being transported to a different location simply by opening a door.

3) The Adjustment Bureau's maplike books that shows the direction one is suppose to go.

I couldn't help thinking...i just wonder how many millions Damon made off of this movie?  It wasn't outstanding.

This week-end the kitchen metal racks were worked on...swapping items from one shelf to the next.  Hope to finish up today.  It's a mental work out trying to figure out the best way to use the space...especially when the kitchen is a work in progress and I have only so much space to hold all that needs stored and then some! 

Hubby and I watched you fired Donald Trump's APPRENTICE last night as we wiped down and disinfected miniature vinyl shelving that had been stored in our partial basement.  They cleaned up nicely and have been added to the shelves for additional storage space.

 



~you fired~

This week as I'm cleaning the house

I'll be practicing singing 'Git Along, Little Dogies'.

Won't you join me?

Roy Rogers sang this traditional Cowboy Ballad in a 1940 movie.

HOME HAVEN
HOME ON THE RANGE WESTERN EDUCATION for the day is:  Learned what a dogie is. 
A young calf.
Moo.

Don't cha think when doing chores it goes faster when you sing?

I do...git along little dogie.

Making HOME a happier place,

~Deanna~

Song can be listen to in previous post!
