Monday Musings

I bet you all thought I got swallowed up in boxes and packing material! Close. it took Liz and I nearly 2 hours to unpack the 21 boxes of coffee pots and such...bag up the peanuts and styrofoam and flatten the cardboard. Work work work...I'm not sure I can convince her to join in that kind of fun again. Two more boxes came on Saturday...yea, eBay.

I left all the vac pots on the kitchen table to spend Saturday afternoon at the annual Flower show. March in Vermont..ugh, cabin fever abounds, people are surly; one saving grace(?) is that there is still too much snow around so it's not ugly and brown. So the flower show was a perk us up type of affair...beautiful lilacs, tulips, daffodils, lillies...hey what's this? Silk flowers? Who uses silk flowers at a flower show? That's just wrong! I paid $10 to see silk flowers?? Huh? Someone selling their dips and sauces? Jewelry? hey! I thought this was the flower show, not the craft show! I want flowers...fresh flowers and I want them now! Geesh...at least I bought some daffies and tulips...they are brightening up my living room. whew.

So yesterday it was back to organizing; I had to get those vacuum pots off my table if we ever expected to eat there again. We "consolidated"..created a couple of better specimens from good ones by exchanging tops and stoves. The extra tops and bottoms went into a parts box and off to the basement..one piece got thrown out..one pot found it's way to Liz's house. I still need to find permanent spots for a few "mint in original box" types but I have managed to pack more than 40 vac pots into my cabinets. yes there are more on the way...10 by my last count that are undelivered as yet, I think. I think we have finally reached the quality not quantity of our searches though....

Busy Busy week...finish tax stuff, dentists, need a hair trim and then pack for Maui! Yes, it's my brother and SIL's annual 2 weeks in Maui and I get to go this year. Bah Humbug, Greg can't make it but going was my birthday present. I really really thought we were going to pull off his being able to go at the last minute. sigh..oh well, it's not the last minute yet.

Have a good Monday all.....

Too bad Greg can't join you in Maui, but since he can't, it's nice you get to enjoy it and can leave cabin fever land. Just want you to know I read your blog all the time. I only remember how to sign in once in awhile, so since this is one of those times, I'll say thanks for sharing your stories. Love hearing about you and yours. : )
