Saturday on the Trail

Swiffer Picker Upperer
Although it was a deluge last night, complete with thunder and lightening, this afternoon is beautiful.  Jerry took us out on the trail for our walk.  He had to carry us over some of the flooded areas, but overall we did fine.  Linda is going to take a hot bath and relieve some of her soreness, then get to work on the house.  We are not used to living with a messy home, but why vacuum the carpet if it's only going to be pulled up in a few days.  (She did vacuum the LR/DR last night.)  She is also OBSESSED with the Swiffer.  It works like magic on the kitchen and foyer floor.  She bought the cheap $10 one without the squirter, but I can see her getting the real-deal once all the floors are wood.  She'll Swiffer with the dry pad every day and then use the wet one once a week. Linda wants to get her friend to make her this reusable pad.  It's such a great idea and a lot less waste.   Her Eureka! is on it's last wheels.  It served her well and she will be replacing it with the exact same model.  This time she can't keep sucking up socks and curtains since it makes the motor smoke.
