Hagatha, good luck with your new backsplash, and with finding the perfect place for you!

Our house, like most older homes, needs some work and is totally cluttered as we have 2 families living here, Soot and I, and our son and his 2 teenage boys.

Lex, we find as soon as we get rid of something, we need it in a week. Conversely, if it sits in our garage we will need it again.

I've been laying low trying to kick allergies for the last several weeks.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Nice to see you l4l!

I have been wondering how you have been doing, L4L. Nice to see you here!

Thanks, Marian. Nice to get back to everyone, if only occasionally

Good evening everyone ☺️

Work is keeping me very occupied and will continue this pace for the next four weeks

Evenings and weekends are my refuge

Wishing everyone a wonderful evening

Good Morning L4L, oldbroad, Marian, soot, Connie, hagatha and everyone.

Double dark brew, strong Scottish tea, and dark hot chocolate are waiting.

Hope you all have a great day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room.

Yes to the double-dark brew.

I forgot to charge my coffee mug last night and I'm left with rapidly-cooling coffee this morning. How quickly I got spoiled!

LOL! I did that ONE time and have never forgotten again! As much fun as I made of this ridiculous mug, I would have a hard time going back to the rapidly cooling second cup of coffee!

I bought a second one for guests, and another one as a thank-you gift for one of my friends. She's already addicted!

Good evening Gerry, Connie, Hagatha, Drac and everyone. Gerry, I'll have a dark hot chocolate and a Danish from Connie for an evening snack. Wishing y'all a wonderful evening.

Good Morning Everyone

Kaki's Sister hope you got your errands out, Hagatha your tile colour sounds great good on you sounds lovely.

Soot G' Day Enjoy your hot chocolate & have a great day

Happy Gaming Boomers

Hey Ho and G' Day TaintedFury ... wishing you and the GamingBoomers a wonderful day. I'm ready for a a Double Dark Brew and bagel.

Have a great day everyone

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Work Room. Shopping is on today's agenda. Working in the kitchen for our dinner at the Eagles tonight, Trivia to follow.

Good morning Connie TaintedFury Hagatha Draclvr Gerry Marian L4L OldBroad Lex SpaceQuestFan Mad and everyone else who gets the chance to pop in for a break. Double Dark Roast coffee and bagels sound marvelous! Have fun shopping Connie. Chores, projects and R&R are on my agenda for the day...with emphasis on R&R to recharge my batteries for work as the next three weeks are busy. Take care and stay safe.

I hope you have a fun and relaxing day soot. My day is devoted to taxes. Yuck!

Me too, Space Q. I'm taking a break with a cold frosty adult beverage! Pretty much have it all, but struggling with just how to enter my rental income from the 80 acres of Iowa farmland I inherited when my mom passed away. Need a Schedule which I don't have! Hope I don't have to enter it strictly as income. We also had two distributions from 529 College Accounts this year. Might need more than one of those beverages!

Ugh. Taxes.

This year won't be too bad, but last year was terrible; John was in the hospital just when the taxes were almost due and I had no idea where he put all the paperwork. Fortunately we've used the same tax accountant for years and years, so he filled it out for me.

This year I'm much better prepared, but next year will be interesting as I will have to pay capital gains tax on a property I sold this year.

I remember the stress you had last year with John in the hospital and not being able to access a lot of tax into on top of everything else. Taxes are never fun, but that was awful for you.

So nice to see you all even though I just pop in from time to time. Still the best community on the planet.

And it's always nice to see you here, BeaSong!

I hope everyone has a pleasant weekend.

Hey Ho Marian, BeaSong, Draclvr, Hagatha and SpaceQuestFan Oh my yes, but an adult, frothy beverage sounds like a wonderful idea...be right back.

fsst...pfshhhh

Ah...

Have a great evening y'all!

Yes, that was truly a low point in my life.

I'm busy getting rid of everything in my house that I don't need, and donating it to my favourite thrift store. Three-quarters of the contents of my kitchen is stuff I'll never need again and probably never needed in the first place. How many springform cheesecake pans did I need? Or bread pans? Mugs? Casserole dishes? Anyway, the kitchen is now at the point where when I do eventually move, everything that is left in the kitchen will be donated as soon as I get to the other end. Love those empty cupboards!

I just lugged two huge bags of extra bedding and still-useable towels out to the car for the Monday run.

Excellent progress, hagatha! It's very freeing to look at previously cluttered spaces and seeing some sense of order!

There are some things I will never get rid of in my kitchen... such as all my cast iron skillets, pans and griddles! I actually use them all the time. I think I have at least 9 pieces!
