I’m always buying new stuff after each visit by my grandson! During each visit, as I observe him I come up with ideas that I know he will love for his next visit and I just can’t resist! LOL!!  The latest new adds for his visits here!  He’s going to adore this new tent with play street/town map floor for his cars and trucks!  And he’s going to love this extra street/town play mat too!  He’s going to love this little toddler chair that speaks when toy sit on it! He loves to sit and watch YouTube videos about farm tractors and educational videos! He also loves Blippi’s videos too!  He had really gotten into puzzles lately! These wooden puzzles are perfect for him!  Every time I go grocery shopping I add to this collection! They have a little display rack in the store with these cars and when they run low, they get new ones in! So I always check it out and can’t help but but any new models they now have!  These next cars are the latest models! He’s going to absolutely LOVE that fire truck

Well, my old washer died late last week! We inherited it when we moved into this house over 6.5 years ago. Have no idea how old it was back then. Hubby attempted to repair it as the drum was barely spinning.

The drum just wouldn’t spin consistently. It would start to spin and then suddenly stop spinning. And then, during one last load of laundry, we heard a very loud “clunk” and that was it. The transmission had ceased up for good. Hubby thought about ordering a new transmission for it but I said, “No!” He has a difficult time letting

Winter Update!

Well, most of the snow from the nor’easter has already melted! We had a couple of days of warmer weather plus rain that melted it fast! But, then the temperature dropped well below freezing again, and the rain turned to sleet and freezing rain, plus, all of the moisture from the rain and snow melt froze! Now the yard, front porch, walkway, and driveway are all pure ice! Very slippery stuff! But a warm up is expected, with more rain. Hoping the ice will soon be gone! In the meantime, very slippery walking!  Now:  Compared to after the nor’easter last weekend:  Now: After the nor’easter last weekend:
