We had a good and productive week. I even had a productive Sunday… until… a stupid fall. I have been climbing all over this house, ladders, the roof and I trip over a hammer while carrying a heavy box – just too ironic.
I spent the rest of the day with ice, a blanket, my book, a nap and the Nascar race.
WEATHER OUTSIDE
Fortunately our weather has returned to a more normal spring time level. Thank goodness as I am NOT ready for summer in ANY WAY, SHAPE or FORM!
TO DO FOR THE WEEK/HOUSE PROJECTS
- Finish the flooring and organization in the studio.
- Paint spare bathroom.
- Install spare bathroom floor.
- Install spare bathroom vanity.
- Drop off next load of donations.
- Cook and prep for Easter. I’ll be cooking at our house and then transporting it to my aunt and uncles as she is still under the weather.

Not much except what comes our way at the end of each day.

HOMEMAKING/COOKING TIP
A tip to making your baking pans non-stick is to whisk together equal parts of cooking oil, shortening or butter and flour. Using a pastry brush to coat your pan(s). Your baked goods will not stick!

Hope you feel better today after your fall. You've got a lot going on! My husband spent the weekend working on replacing this siding. We always have a project going, it seems.
