Rain
Ok, it wasn't worthy of 'storm watch' but we did get some rain this morning..it was enough to wet the front courtyard, mess up the windows and make me use the windshield wipers on my errand to Office Max (the new one by my house...next to in n out yippee). Stayed cloudy the rest of the day...don't know what tomorrow holds in store, would love to see more moisture!
I am the only person I know that it takes almost an entire day to make one greeting card from the computer. Honest. What a ditz....sheesh.
Worked on cleaning out the pantry this morning...I didn't know what was where and that is just a total waste of food. Lots of boxed stuff and floury things had to be tossed, I had called Dan my grocery expert, and he said if it's past the 'best used by' date or no date at all...toss. So I did! Most of it is mom's stuff so I boxed it up for her. She had most of the canned goods and oils....I need to go through the cabinet where the spices are next..
We have an agent bringing buyers through tomorrow between 11 and 12 so no deep cleaning for me in the morning...Get it picked up, vacuumed,mopped and dogs out for a ride. One of these days the right buyer will show up. Or not. It's getting old but at least it's being looked at....so fingers crossed all!
