Ready Or Not---Here I Clean!

Ugh! Yuck! Disgusting! Gross!

These are only a few of the words that we use when faced with a "dirty" situation unexpectedly. How can I possibly attack that gut-wrenching filth! I am talking about the corners of the bathroom, the top of the icebox, the inside of the microwave or the stains in the dishwasher. I especially hate the "sticky" spots on the cabinet doors. Those unseen, hidden horrors that hold untold thousands of microscopic germs.



I heard a few hints on the TV once and couldn't remember them...old people should write things down. SoI do the only thing possible, get on the internet. Stop! Listen! It's superman! No, no, no!....no man can clean like a woman...face it! If you don't believe me, just go and visit a deer lease. Talk about gross...don't even go there.



I found a very good website called Mrs. Clean and here is the link.

The lemons work extremely well in cleaning the microwave.

I'll let you know about the vinegar in the dishwasher. There are other solutions for the dishwasher that I can try if the vinegar can't cut it. So many possibilities...Don't worry I'm still NOT going to become that incredible "Ultimate Little Miss Housekeeper". I like my puppies too much to keep them outside!

Girls, I think you will really enjoy using it. Can you believe it? Auntie Phiss actually did something technological for you?

Branson Vacation Part 6

What A Fake!




Patsy and I went around Branson shopping and taking pictures. We saw this beautiful butterfly at the entrance of Dolly Parton's place. Throughout Branson you can see beautiful gardens and displays of flowers. I just had to get a picture of this display.

We pulled up into the drive, stopped and took our picture! As I drew closer....What?....No Way!...What a Cop Out!....Deceitful.....Plastic Flowers? Phooey---Fake!

Hmmmmm ....wonder what else is fake?

SLEEPING BABIES

This scene was too cute not to post. This is Enoch and Woody in Dad's bed. When we go to bed at night, the puppies have already found their spot and is waiting on Dad. He absolutely loves it.

Jacob likes to snuggle under Dad's arm and naturally Dad has to have me get a picture.

I call Enoch my little "Arabian Night". He likes to flip the sheets and squiggle under the covers. He is too cute.

Woody is the love of my life (he reminds me of my Amos) and I think you can see why! Here he is all comfy on Momma's quilt. I don't mind at all.

Try and not to be too jealous of my babies!

Branson Vacation Part 5

Veteran's Memorial Garden

One of the most beautiful sights on our vacation was the Veternan's Garden located on Highway 76. It wasn't huge; but, it was beautiful! I had to make more than one try to get these pictures because of it's location on the busiest road in Branson.

The huge pink blossoms seen in the photo above are called Rose Mallow. These are prennial and come in white, pink, bubblegum pink, and red. (The red ones can be seen in the first photo.) These blooms can be as large as a dinner plate!

The beautiful butterflies come in all color patterns and were found at the Butterfly Palace and rainforest. I didn't bother to even look to see how much they were!

This last photo shows an array of lilies grouped within the garden. Among the lilies you can see monkey grass and rock ledges. It was a tremendous view on that corner lot. After viewing this display, no corner lot should be a display of broken glass, Johnson grass, etc. It just takes a little planning and work.

Congratulations Branson on a job well done!

Branson Vacation -- Part 4

Branson Terror!

Have you ever got something between your teeth and couldn't get it out? Have you ever used one of these little "super gadgets" to get at that elusive, obnoxious, frustrating, and super stuck food particle? Well, I never could stand to hear someone click, suck, snick, or "whatever" sound

that is to get food particles from between their teeth. I especially hate it when someone takes a knife at the table and pick at their teeth! SUPER UGH!!!!

While on vacation, I had the horrible experience of getting something stuck, really stuck between my teeth. I tried and tried to get it out. No luck. Do you have a toothpick! Aunt Wanda didn't have a toothpick; but, she had the "super gadget". I quickly accepted the "unused" gadget and begin to saw away. I sawed and pulled. Sawed and pulled. What is wrong? It wouldn't pull out! I worked at it and still it was stuck!

This little instrument is NOT a super gadget...it is a criminal terror! It has the potential to embarrass an honest citizen, scare a debutant, and do injury to a poor unsuspecting consumer. Can you image the injury this little devil could do? Especially if the string sliced your gum and the pick hung in your nose! Thank goodness I got it out without either tragedy happening to this old girl.
