Nancy's Nonsense: Spring Cleaning

Spring Cleaning

Today was light cleaning day! This one was a gift from Stosh and hangs over my kitchen table. I absolutely love this fixture, but washing it, I do not! It has a total of 91 of those balls and long pieces to remove, wash, dry and re-hang! I love it when it's clean, though! The cats love to watch...I think they are hoping I drop a ball or two for them to play with! They have been up on the table before and have knocked balls off themselves, setting off the alarm system when they hit the glass tabletop!

Anyhow, the cleaning "bug" has returned, and I decided to tackle some light fixtures today. I just feel so good when everything is clean and bright! We had rain yesterday, and the earth just looked so clean...that kind of motivated me to get back to my spring cleaning inside!

I need the cleaning bug to hit me.. It usually does, when I am at work though...

Midlife Mom said...: Hi Nancy! Thanks for stopping by for a visit, I love to have new people to get to know!! I just read all your latest posts and really enjoyed them. I have a light fixture in my foyer that is a lot like the one you just cleaned. This one hangs so high it's very rare that it gets cleaned.....:o(

Love the letter to you son. I have one son so I can really relate to the things that you wrote. I didn't have a daughter but now have a granddaughter so get to do the girly things with her and the 'guy' things with my grandson.

Those strawberries look sooooo good! I bought some today at the grocery but they didn't look that good. I don't know where you are located but those berries look fresh!!! Yummy!

Come by again soon!!; May 20, 2008 at 8:46 PM

My Grandma used to say...

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

The time to make friends is before you need them.

Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life.

Our duty is not to see through one another, but to see one another through.

Keep your words soft and sweet...you never know when you're going to have to eat them.

Getting back on the right track usually involves getting out of a rut.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things money can't buy.

No matter how much frosting you put on a bad cake, it's still a bad cake.

When there's work to be done, turn up your sleeves, not your nose.

Age is not important unless you're a cheese.

God will lighten your load or strengthen your back.

What should not be heard by little ears should not be said by big mouths.

To understand a man, you must know his memories.

When a man gets too big for his breeches, his hat won't fit, either!

He who stoops to help a child, stands tall.

Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

Instead of pointing a critical finger, try holding out a helping hand.

A real estate bargain is when you get good neighbors.

Cheer up! Birds have bills, too, but they keep singing.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

There are no strangers in the world...only friends you haven't met yet.

A halo has to fall only a few inches to become a noose.

Even a bed of roses has thorns.

The soul would have no rainbow if the eye had no tear.

Oil the gates of success with courtesy.

Home...be it ever so humble. It's no place to grumble.

The trouble with many people in trying times is they quit trying.

Advice is like snow. The softer it falls, the deeper it goes.

A mother's heart is a child's schoolroom.

Children are the living messages we send to a time we won't see.

If you want your dreams to come true, don't oversleep.

People seldom get dizzy from doing good turns.

Experience is what you've got when you're too old to get a job.

Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Remember, a diamond is nothing more than a piece of coal that has been hard pressed for a long time.

Talk is the activity of the mouth. Listening is the activity of the heart.

Happiness is not getting what you want, but wanting what you have.

Elbow grease gives the best polish.

Never return a kindness...pass it on!

Memories are a family album filled with images and dreams.

Instead of putting others in their place, try putting yourself in their place.

The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.

Bigger snacks mean bigger slacks.

Good, better, best. Never let it rest til good is better and the better best.

An apology is a good way to have the last word.

You can remember the past, but you can't live in it.

Better late than never, but never late is better.

If you're yearning for the good old days, just turn off the air conditioning.

Nothing...the best thing to buy when you want to save money.

The best gifts are tied with heartstrings.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, because you never know when it will be too late.

There are two lasting things we give our children...one is roots, the other is wings.

In the midst of everything, take time to love, laugh and play. Then life will be worth living, each and every day.
