Finally!

On Tuesday I ordered a new bed from Sleep Country. He had me lie down on 3 beds and it was interesting - the "cheapest" was the most comfortable in my mind. "That will never do" so he said, caringly, I want you to try one more. Heaven! Of course, it was $500. more than the "1st " bed but oh what a wonderful bed. Uh, I bought the most expensive of the 4 - but am I worth it? Hope so. And also, it's going in the guest room. Wanna come visit?

Get the bed Friday so don't arrive before that! I will take a picture of it, for sure.

Swiffer

So life has changed being Shirl is mobile- got to keep the house Swiffered! She introduced me to them a long while ago and I forgot about them - was kind of stored with the broom and the vacuum! Anyway, today I saw a cobweb and wondered how I'd get it when the (Swiffer) light went on.

I have never"dusted" my walls in my life, but taking a page from Shirl, ran the Swiffer over the main bath walls and the kitchen - if you are sitting down, I'll tell you about it! Well, I could see no dust or darkness to the Swiffer cloth after the bathroom- thought it may be really dusty from the vent and towels, etc. The hall also was good. Now the kitchen - it's a country kitchen so excuse me if I get worn out keeping it spiffy! anyway, I digress - the entry area was good, table & cooking area not dusty but the wall separating the living room and kitchen was dusty.

Another mystery in my life - anyway, thought I'd run it over the floor to "use it up" and that was very interesting. Have you checked out the dust bunnies under your fridge and stove recently??Oh, my - - my stuff was last moved for Christmas -as if I were worried Santa would check around.

The pics previous are the back 20' of our yard- I am getting help to clean it up soon. I call it my back 40. Rain now so no gardening. Wish I'd have had my seeds in!

Where Have You Travelled?

We haven't exactly been "world" travelers but here's our rundown:

1966 Jamaica
1971 Hawaii
the 70's-United States with our camper and sons: Washington, Oregon, Idaho
80's and 90's: Maine, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Cape Breton, Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan
2000 and later: Nevada, Idaho, California, Washington, Arizona,

I may have missed a couple states.

So it's May!

Our sunshine headed off in directions unknown today! Actually, it was kind of good for working in my slave yard. I dug about 4' of tomato bed and cleared another pathway. My sweet neighbor leaned on the fence giving me encouragement. She and her hubby are going to help me haul away a gross amount of wood scraps from the back forty.

So if I get the garden dug soon it will be planting time. Too late for peas, I guess, but I'll get the rest in next week. I think I'll get the bedding plants as once May arrives, they go quickly.
