Crazy Week

Hope everyone is well and staying warm if you are having the cold, cold weather that has been hanging around for way too long.

We started out having to clean up after yet another storm on Monday and boy it was a heavy snow. Thankfully we did not get the ice/freezing rain but we did get about 5 inches of heavy snow. We followed that up by having to wring out a washer full of wet clothing. Yes, after 27 years my washer has died. Les and I have been kidding with friends on fb that it could have held out for 30 years, but Nooo, lol. So yesterday and today we have been doing our homework online and looking at the big box stores. But, today we took a trip to a local Mom and Pop store to have a peek at what they had to offer. Well, I will not say they are less expensive, far from it but we are getting a Washer that is made in America (Wisconsin) with a three warranty. It will fit in the space that I have so no buying a dryer that I did not need to make the big box store washer work. It will be delivered on Friday of this week, they will haul away the old one and it comes with new hoses (again, unlike the big box store who insist you purchase them). So, what are we getting? A Speed Queen Washer. After seeing it in the store we came home measured and I called to see when we needed to come back and order it and guess what? I did it all on the phone, no running back to the store. Customer Service!!

Our work is not over yet, as we now need to get the standing water out of the old washer, this should be fun, Ha!!

Have a good evening and I will let you know how everything comes out in the wash (had to say it).

Friday Findings

It seemed to me that this week was very loooong. I an sure that the dreadful weather that many of us are experiencing had something to do with it. No plans for the weekend, just hunkering down for another snowy weekend, but I know Spring will be here soon enough. And to prove that, look closely and you can see daffodil sprouts. This was taken a little over a week ago on the South side of our home.

 

 

Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th, day before St.Valentine's Day, hmm I bet there will be lots of voo doo going on, lol.

Hope everyone is well and if you are in the East, hope that you are staying warm. It is down right brutal out here in Eastern Pennsylvania and it is going to get worse before it gets better. So, today we are going out to run errands, fill the tank in the Jeep and do what we have to do to prepare for the snow, dangerous wind chills and possible power outages (yep you read that right) power outages for longer then 24 hours could occur to do the High Wind Advisory that goes in effect on Saturday evening until sometime on Sunday.

Take care, have a great day and I will post a picture (s) of what I spotted in my yard the other day ( you will love it).



It's Friday

Sunny, bright and COLD here in eastern Pa. 8 degrees when we woke up, wind chill of 4. Brr, makes me cold to tell you.

We are off to our booth in a bit, to pay our monthly rent, put up a couple of shelves that will hold spice tins, tobacco tins, etc. and just tidy up. It always needs tiding up. I did not get out to the shop this week, just too cold. We keep the temps down out in the shop so that we are not looking a a big oil bill for both the house and the shop. But at 50 degrees, things just get cold and stay cold and it takes a while for the the place to heat up. So not much going in this week to the booth, but I will get in gear next week and have treasures o'plenty to take in.

We are looking at yet another storm late on Sunday/Monday so that means moving the snow blower up to the porch this weekend, this is getting real old, lol.

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.



Hey It's Friday

Hopefully many have the day off today, but I know my retail gals are hard at work and for them I wish big dollar sales today, lol.

I was back outside this morning pulling more weeds and cutting back stuff, where does it all come from. My yard is in serious trouble, with all the rain that we have been having and then if its not raining we are usually working. So, now I am left with a big mess, too embrassed to show before pictures but maybe some after pictures we will see.

I have errands to run today, so I need to step it up. Have a wonderful day my friends.
