Me blethering on...

Woke up sort of suddenly at 6:15am with the Pugs and Olive jumping around at our bedroom doorway (it's 4 steps down, so thankfully, they showed some restraint and only Daisy the Pug rolled down them). Man. You'd have thought they'd been shot out of a cannon to see them race out the back door. And, you'd have never in a million thought that Olive had been so sick-acting just weeks ago. Don't know what's up with that girl. Must be one of her good days, eh?

Have to go to the grocery store this morning....but thankfully, just for minor things. Mainly for dog food for the big dogs and a cucumber or two. The girls have set aside today as TeaPartyDay. Must make cucumber sandwiches, you know. But more seriously must have tea to stoke me up before getting it in gear.

Praying for a day that feels blessed all around. Husband has this huge, and I mean huge plank of wood to make into a headboard....he's making attempts at drawing out the design this week, so he's on my mind. I scratch my head when I'll see the piles of wood in his shop, then blink, and voila....a masterpiece! Takes it out of him, though, that's for sure. Makes my head hurt!

As for me, I'll just putter around. Got the fridge partially cleaned yesterday....including under and behind it. Yuck. You'd have thought we had carpet under it. Four dogs. They make some mess! On the plus side, however, was this cleaner I picked up at Family Doll@r yesterday called Mean Green. For 3 bucks I got a two-pack of window cleaner and an orange cleaner. The orange stuff works like magic. I kept spraying, wiping up and staring at the bottle, amazed at how well it worked. (my version of an infomercial, I guess) Anyway, the goal was to help the fridge get colder. As it is, I've been freezing half-gallons, because in the heat, it's spoils so quickly. We'll see how effective our cleaning made things. But, with the refrigerator being 19 years old, I can't complain too much.

Take care. Must hush now.
