I’ve been busy, to busy to tell you about. But, you should know this, some maintenance jobs fall to granny, no matter what. Here are the tools I used : So, now, what do you think I did with them to get this result: Of course, I cleaned the brush on the vacuum. Really, I couldn’t push …

M-in-L’s family reunion was last Sunday. To be as specific as she is, “My mother’s family was the one that got together”. M-in-L was thrilled as more and more people drove in. We think there were about 110 or so, but we didn’t have everyone sign in. I guess that’s new for next year. We …
