Weekend Update

The weekend rainfall put me into cleaning mode.  Friday it was only two carpets, two windows and a curtain, but it took 3-4 hours to finish.  You know how it goes when you clean.  I had to move all the boots and stand, and plastic piece under it, then wash it in the rain, then take the curtain down, then wash everything....had to vacuum twice before shampooing....seemed to take forever.  I cannot wait to get rid of the carpet some day.

Saturday I worked on my book pile again too.  Since it rained on Saturday, we took some and dispersed them to various donation locations.  Went to another grad party, picked up chicken feed, delivered Dad a meal, delivered our now 19 year-old a birthday cake and a few presents (laundry drying rack and some kitchen items she needed), dropped off youngest so she could join her siblings for a movie, and high-tailed it back home for porch time.

More book sorting awaits.

Today we are moving the bookshelf, all the front room furniture (re-organizing and finally making it livable), and once again vacuuming and shampooing resumed (small area, and last to shampoo).

Hubby got called into work early this morning, so the Sunday fun will be with Youngest.  And guess what?  We are to get more rain later.  By now I'm rolling my eyes.
