Sink still Shiny!

Graini-aunt turned me on to Doc Martin ( a British comedy/drama).  While watching reruns on Netflix (until I was kicked off due to "too many users" ahem....children!!!), I cleaned out some of the clutter in the bookshelves.  As a Christian educator I have many books and pamphlets; as a former seminary student I have many books and notebooks and loose papers.  I didn't want to lose them in a filing cabinet so I kept them in arms reach while studying.  BUT NOW!!!  I no longer need to have those things out and cluttering up the bookshelves.  Yesterday I probably recycled a whole ream of papers.  It felt good to get them out of the house.  I still have work to do but little by little it I am feeling good.

I also went through my drawers (sounds funny since my Grandmother used to call underwear "drawers").  Pulling out old t-shirts-- you know...the ones you save in case you stain the furniture?  Or wash the dog?  My t-shirts are the frumpy kind....the old stretched out ones to stain furniture....or wash the dog...or clean toilets.  Let's face it, you don't have to go all June Cleaver with the pearls but really I'm not that messy of a house-cleaner that I have to change clothes that many times!  One frumpy old stretched out t-shirt is sufficient.  My drawers can finally breath.

And guess what?  The crockpot is filled and cooking.  I tweaked the old WW Vegetable Soup recipe and either lunch or dinner or lunch AND dinner is cooking.

celery, onions, bell peppers, carrots, diced tomatoes and tomato paste all rolled into one! YUM

The zucchini and cabbage is waiting their turn to be added.  I really don't like mushy cabbage and zucchini.  Can't wait!!

What's for lunch or dinner at your Strawberry Patch?

AND ....drum roll.....my sink is still shining away.

P.S. Loved seeing Banana this past weekend.  And Congratulations again on winning that drawing!!!

She wants you to know the card has already been used up!
