On My Mind

Saw Dr. Burke first thing - just a routine visit. He's still the best.

Cleaned out dining room book shelves - my cookbook collection was getting too unwieldy, so I tossed out a bunch of really old, really stained books from years ago - several of them were for our very first Litton microwave oven. Now don't get upset - I didn't throw out anything good or valuable - just junky stuff. (I hope.)

I also tossed out all of my MMAP stuff since I have no plans to rejoin that group. The things are all 3 or 4 years old anyway, so they're obsolete. What a waste of paper.

Result is 5 more bags of stuff to take to recycling! Plus room on the book shelves for all of the really good cookbooks! And room in the cupboards below for who knows what.

Traverse Tops reports that they are expecting an install of our countertops next week Wed. or Thurs. I'll believe it when they show up! Our plumber (Jim Beam) is getting antsy- he wants to firm up his summer schedule, and he'd really like to know when he can get started on our project - who can blame him. We'd really like to know, too.

Chateau Chantal has finished our two cases of wine with the Basswood Bend labels - we can pick them up any time.

The VC called to verify that Dick will be marching in the Cherry Festival parade with the VC volunteers - he kind of looks forward to doing that. The volunteers all received matching parade shirts.

Stanley Steemer wants over $700 to clean our furnace ducts. Really. It seems a bit much, but then it hasn't been done for 15 years. Maybe we'll wait until closer to the heating season, and then shop around a bit. We haven't decided.

Jen-Tees has not contacted Dick at all about the S2S series T shirts - we're anxiously awaiting something from them. Pleeeze - any time now - pleeeze...

Dick got the name of a handyman from Kathee - we plan to contact him to come and do some of our honey dew jobs. Quickly.

Spring cleaning - I still have 2 drawers to clean out in Jana's furniture, and then I'll do my cracker cupboard - and then I might be done. I think my closet can wait until later. My closet is The Dark Cave of Disaster.
