Happy Homemaker 2025-05-05

Good morning and welcome May!

Grandkids came for supper on Thursday and we drove them home around 7:30.

Saturday we all went to my daughter's house - it was Ely's 4th bday.  was a nice day.  came back home around 9 pm (2 hour drive).

Sunday was house reset and since it was nice in the afternoon did some outside chores.

I have FINISHED deep-spring-cleaning all main floor!!! except for kitchen cabinets which get done in autumn so the dishes are ready for Christmas.  Basement also gets down in Autumn.  Used to do 2 deep cleanings per year both main floor and basement... not so anymore.

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom . ,

Thinking and pondering

Waiting for dad's results today (he goes to the hospital at 11:00 for his vitals) and then if he is not too feeble (he is done to 108 lbs from 140), he will have chemio on Wednesday.  I'm thinking of driving down and staying with him through chemio (5 hours) and a few days too.

Les lotus d'or - Jane Yang.. just finished and it was quite interesting.  Historical in China with those tiny feet - young girls' feet are bandaged when they are young.
