Hello!
Well, my challenge with Mr. Ken
has started. I have read and
finished 2 of the 50 I have been
challenged to read!
I started book one on Wednesday
and finished it Thurday afternoon.
I began book 2 yesterday afternoon
and finished it this evening.
Baskin Robbins is looking better
by the day. Watch out Mr. Ken!!
My reading takes place around the
other activities I have on my "get
accomplished" list. Lots going on
in the house because it is too wet to
go outside. I feel like Sally and her
brother in The Cat in the Hat!
Please keep those in the flooded
areas in your prayers.

Hello~
School is out as most of you
know soooo hopefully I can
post more often!
So Mr. Ken asked me yesterday
what I had planned for the Summer,
I rattled off a list of things I hope to
get accomplished. One of them being
to read 50 books. Now Mr. Ken knows
how much I love to read and that I am
a pretty fast reader but being the feisty
fella he is he said to me "That is a lot
of books--do you think you can read
that many before you go back to
school?" Well, I said "Of course I can
read 50 books, are you challenging me
here?" He said "Well, yes I am."
After much discussion on this challenge
here is the deal:
If I read 50 books--they must be adult
books no kid books. I get to go to Baskin
Robbins and Mr. Ken will have to buy me
whatever I choose, if I don't then Mr. Ken
gets to choose what he wants and I have
to buy. I hope he has his pennies saved
because I WILL NOT be losing this
challenge!!!!
If you would like to join in reading 50
books this summer, let me know. I will
be posting updates on Fridays and let
you know when I have found a goodie.

As you can see by the picture,
mine is RED for Red Nose Day.
I am sure that you have seen
the commercials for today.
Walgreen's is a sponsor for all
this fun by selling Red Noses
that money goes to the Red Nose
Day Fund-a program of Comic
Relief Inc.
On a serious note Red Nose Day
helps children living in poverty.
All monies raised from today go
to charities in the U. S. and over-
seas.
Some of those charities are :
Boys and Girls Clubs of America
charity : water
Children's Health Fund
Feeding America
Gavi : The Vaccine Alliance
Save the Children
United Way
Watch NBC tonight for the
RED NOSE DAY SPECIAL

Hello!
We have returned! Got back
in town at 10:00 pm last night.
Let me introduce you to "Wild
Rose", she lives in our backyard
and look what she did while
we were gone!
On Friday the roses had not
bloomed, but with all the rain
we had, many made an appear-
ance while we were gone.
Such a nice surprise.
When I moved over here, this bush
was on the fence line with another.
But when we moved them, this one
survived the other one did not.
We don't do a whole lot to pamper
her, water and trims here and there.
That's it. Hence the name "Wild Rose."
Plus, there are still buds that will
bloom soon.
So, so. so PRETTY!!
Thanks, Wild Rose for the surprise
this afternoon!

Hello--
We are back from our trip
to Oklahoma. The standout
event for this trip was the
weather!
I will have a separate post
on the Oklahoma family
reunion trip at a later date.
THIS weekend we are on the
road again---
This time we are off to Illinois
for a double graduation and
birthday celebration for one
of Mr. Ken's best friend's son.
This young man is an extremely
intelligent guy! He will graduate
from high school AND Jr. College
this weekend plus we will get to
help celebrate his 18th birthday!
We don't see this family often due
their location and Ken's friend is
in the Army so they are always
on the move.
Looking forward to the weekend.
Hoping for better weather that
we had on our trip to Oklahoma.
Please keep us in your prayers
for safe travels they helped while
we were fighting with hard rain,
wind, lighting and thunder plus
flooding!
There will also be a post on this
trip too.

Thursday's Tip
For the Kitchen:
Stainless Steel Appliances
For streak free appliances,
use a soft cloth with vinegar
and wipe in the direction of
the grain.
Toasters
For those stuck on pieces,
use a toothpick to dislodge
anything hanging around.
Stinky Garbage Disposal
Toss in a 1/2 orange or lemon,
turn on the disposal to grind
up the rind now you have citrus
smelling disposal. we do this
a lot. Some say it also helps
to sharpen the blade.
Office---Work or Home
Computer
Keyboard
*Mr Ken's biggest rule
Please do not eat or drink
over the keyboard. Neither
is good if something spilled.
Q-tips dipped in a small bit
of rubbing alcohol can be
used between the keys.
Monitor
Using equal parts vinegar to
water and a microfiber cloth.
Wipe the cool monitor to de
smudge it.
Use sanitizing wipes to clean
phones, tablets, cell phones
and remotes.
*For those of who don't know,
Mr. Ken lives and breathes
computers at work each day.
Friday's Tip
Bedrooms
Use the dust first then vacuum
tip.
Go through your closets and
drawers,donate anything that
is not worn any longer.
My favorite:
To clean a ceiling fan-place an
old pillowcase over each blade,
wipe clean-all the dust from the
blades stays in the case and
doesn't flutter all over the place.
Take the pillowcase outside, shake
out and throw in the laundry.
Hope you have enjoyed this series.
Did you find something helpful?
Happy Cleaning!!!
