A Stick



This is our *stick*.
Does your house have a stick?

We used it a lot when the kids were all here.
More things evidently rolled under furniture, had to be un-poked out of corners, 
jabbed, reached, knocked down, 
smacked, whacked and retrieved.....
when there were 8 of us.

If your house doesn't have stick,
then how do you get cats out of the recessed lighting?
tennis balls from under the couch?
cobwebs in the garage?
Christmas tree parts out of the vacuum hose?
little people that fall behind the freezer?
fabric from your TALLEST shelf?



If I had a dime for every time somebody yelled:
*WHERE is the STICK?*
I could probably buy 
a new broom.

This post made me laugh out loud!! I have what I call arms. I say I need an arm and one of the kids or my husband comes to reach anything for me. But when I need things -as I can only reach the first shelf in any room in the house I resort to my daughters old broom that adds enough for me to scootch the item forward so it will fall to my catching arms!!

Oh and in the kitchen I use the grill tongs...they reach high and grab!

Thanks once again for giving me a smile!!

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived. These are useful, not beautiful.  I need useful when I garden.  I bought some very low cost sni...
