  • How Sweet It Can Be !


    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    I can almost see the end of the mess in the house from another of the Beast's improvements.  *Sigh*  I really do need to get up into the attic and start putting the Xmas boxes back up there.  I've put it off far too long.  But, as soon as he finishes up connecting the baseboard heaters, he will want to move the car back into the garage and that means I'll have a hell of a time getting access.

    But....I will say this much.  This baseboard heating is incredibly nice.  The Beast has it all wired in and running now.  If only it weren't so warm outside so he could feel he was giving it a real run.   Like I said yesterday, what I like is the evenness of the temperature.  Haven't had that in a month of Sundays, that's for sure.  You got used to it in Florida because you didn't use your heat much anyway but the cooling was always great in our homes.  Thanks to the Beast on that score.

    This is going to be a short post today.  I made salmon patties for dinner and I need to clean it up before Chewlee gets here.  The Princess is dropping her off for a few hours, I think so she and one of her work friends can go out and do something.  Tomorrow is her day off and the baby has a dental appointment and then the Princess has a parent-teacher conference after that.  Busy, busy, busy.    I'm sure she would rather be washing clothes (which is a job she hates) than have to go to a parent-teacher conference when she really doesn't have an answer about what to do for the problem.  It's tough raising a kid without an instruction manual. 

    Love you all.  Gotta run and clean up.  Love to all and hope you have a great day.  We actually got up to 64 today .  I know!  But it didn't feel much like it with no sun.  At least we didn't get the thunderstorms.  Just overcast and a drizzle now and then.  Hope your day is better.
