Saturday afternoon putterings

The weather is splendid today!  A pretty rowdy thunderstorm blew through here last night and left much cooler temperatures, lots of sun and a wonderful breeze. The windows are open and I'm puttering around, cleaning things that haven't been tidied in days. Four dogs do make some mess and do leave some hair.  Not feeling very motivated, though.  Need to act like I care, which I do a tiny bit, but it's hard when it's so gorgeous outside. 

Love the new stove.  Boils things very quickly.  I hardly get out of the room but the tea kettle is boiling.  I'm used to waiting.  Oldest daughter made two casseroles---one for the party she's going to tonight, and one for us.  Will be nice to bake it in a clean and fresh oven.  Will have to think of something else to cook in there with it so much cooler in the house.

Must go now.  I'm wasting time here, and besides, my hours are numbered on this laptop.  Gary's computer up and died, I'm handing over this one to him and fourth son is giving me his Windows version laptop since he just got a Mac.  Will miss this faithful machine.  It's been mine, all mine, for 4 years---the first thing I spent a sizable amount on just for me.  And I've not had the ability to spend that sort of money since then, so it's special. May it give Gary as much pleasure as it's given me (sorry to be sappy, but I do love this laptop).

It's been a minor aggravation to move everything from this one over to a storage thingy (not sure what you call them), and hope I've got all my bases covered.  But it's just stuff.  No real biggie if I mess up.

Now must finish cleaning out the fridge.  Almost done.

Take care.
