She has a sore throat, otherwise she'd be her usual loud and rambunctious self. Right now we are watching Hotel for Dogs, she says it is the Best Movie Ever! I'm not paying attention so I don't know what is going on only that Emma Roberts is in it. This morning when I walked into our pantry, I got a most wonderful surprise, Tom had clean and organized it. Circle today on the calendar, that doesn't happen every day, every week, every month or even every year!
And I am almost caught up on the Laundry, and basically that is an oxymoron. Is anyone ever really caught up on laundry. I got a new/old washer on Mothers Day that I bought with part of my pay from my Tastefully Simple party the night before. I love it. It is about 8x as old as the one we had, It has about 1/3 the capacity and no electronic panel. What it does have is all your basic washing machine parts that work and have worked for a long time. While our 'old' washing machine:The Kenmore Oasis with Canyon something and a whisper package and no agitator, that is only 3 years old is broke again.
Sears would like $75 to come out and more to fix it again, or we can buy a repair package that is good for a year for $225. Ya sounds great, We did that when it stopped working about 16 months ago. So I went on Craigslist last week, looked up garage sales and called around until this nice lady in Alsip said she had a washer that worked but was nothing to look at and she'd take $75 for it.
On Sunday we picked it up. It was my Mother's Day gift to me from me. Then Tom and I tried to move it into the basement by ourselves and I had visions of the washer sliding down the stairs and landing on Tom. The washer is just too heavy for me, I called Tom's brother and let them move it down the steps.
Other exciting news around here is that our strawberry patch is bursting with strawberries. They are not red as of yet, but when they are, fresh organic strawberries are the best!
