Oh-oh

Oh dear, I hear clothes being hung in the closet of Gramma's room......

Monday when our guests left, she brought down the sheets from one of the upstairs bedrooms and put the sheets in the washer, I didn't hear the washer run, so meant to go in and start it......
However-I soon heard the dryer running, and checked and - sure enough, the sheets went from the washer (unwashed) to the dryer. I quickly took them out and washed them.

Today, wouldn't you know.....I  put Gramma's dark's in the washer and hurried out to grab a few more.
When I came back the dryer was going with the unwashed clothing.......Stopping the dryer-I ran to tend to dinner-Lesson learned - Nothing goes into the washer unless the washer is promptly started

Now......I hear the sound of clothing (unwashed I know) being hung back in the closet.

Wash day  Plan B....During 4:00 Tea time, I'll clean the closet and start the washer with the clothes that were slated to be washed this morning.....uff da

Picture proof

Bedroom and bath and pantry with a new look

Organizing-Part II

 

I've read that cleaning and organizing a house requires high level thinking skills

Yes, first I know something needs to be done

I comprehend it will be a big job, require several days, and get flack from Will

OK, time to apply my time and energy to the task

Analyzing the stuff, deciding what to keep and where to put it-what to donate, throw?

Synthesis of like stuff, and frequency of use

Evaluating  at various stages and at completion

Does it look clean and organized

Has it made life simpler and easier?

Organizing

Oooh....I am extremely Thankful for Daughters.

Adult daughters bring into the family new ideas and up to date suggestions to enhance quality of life for parents and even grandparents....For example:

The house is cleaned and furniture arranged for a new and refreshing look....Thank you Laura

We are reading the WSJ and having interesting and challenging discussions....Thank you Kristin

and  the newest awakening came this weekend from Elizabeth....

Elizabeth watched a documentary about hoarding during her stay in Florida before leaving for a cruise.
She shared this very interesting topic with us.

Monday I started on the pantry-Wednesday- the refrigerator and freezer in the kitchen. Yes, I am determined to work my way through the house purging as I go.

The documentary definitely made both of us think....but before Will left for golf today he said....' Don't throw out anything that is still good-if it's outdated but not bulging remember - it's still good ? '

I had lunch with a long time friend yesterday who said to me    "Don't you just LOVE GOLF"  !!!

Yes, I do like golf season, now I have at least 1 or 2 days a week that I can freely clean and organize and it's never missed

What do people do without daughters ??
