A good rule of thumb for the novice domestic is don’t bother dusting where folks can’t see. My swiffer duster was maneuvering at a maddening pace when it caught the spoke of a wrought iron candle stick perched upon a very high shelf. The first tug from the end of my extended arms reach produced nothing. The second tug spiraled a pillar candle downward towards the bridge of my nose. After a trip to the ER, a concerning CT scan sequestered me to a hospital peekaboo pajama sleep over. Luckily, I have a cast iron shnozola, and was able to spring the coop the next day. I have a follow up appointment in a few weeks to check on those little fellers who spin my brain’s gears. I’ll keep you all posted…

Hi Ann
Maggie hopes you didn’t hurt the part of your brain that draws her pictures.

Joy!
Let Maggie know all will be fine: I draw her pictures not so much from my head, but from my heart.

I am telling you Miss Ann, if I send my sister-in-law over there, the dust bunnies will run for the hills! You WILL be able to use the white gloves! Just hide the kat from my sister in law. The snakes hanging off her head my turn your kat to stone. Don’t forget to eat your pizza and chocolate pie for lunch!!

Ann!
What’s the word?
How are your gear turners turning?
Is it still all ‘tumble dry on low heat’?

Hullo Dere, Dave!
Thanks for asking: seems there’s lint clumped in my fluff cycler. There’s options to make it better; some I like, some I don’t.
I’ll share the particulars over our next cup o’ joe.
Give me a call soon, buddy!
