BEDA #9 a grands day

From yesterday, a storm came through early evening and dropped a lot of rain in short time. It also had some straight line winds. 

This tree is across our street. 

Several  neighbors have fence damage. 

A new house being built, 3 blocks away, lost it’s  trusses.

We had a broken flower pot and a little fence damage.  My husband and oldest grandson fixed our fence this morning. 

I think that broken tree is going to need a professional tree service. It’s a Bradford pear and I’m not sorry it will be gone.  Bradford pears are pretty when they bloom but they stink, give some people terrible allergy issues and they too weak for Oklahoma winds.  

Oklahoma weather is no joke. 

Today 5 of our grands were here for some of the day. 

We got Little Caesar’s pizza and had lunch with their great grandmother in her retirement apartment.

Some of them did Perler beads

Some of us learned to make a sliding knot to make jewelry with no clasps or fasteners 

This video spells it out - it took me a couple of attempts but I’ve got it mastered now

Our fridge has several containers of leftovers so no cooking tonight.

Everyone can heat up their choices.

BEDA #8 cleaning closet

Today I did some housework, including vacuuming and mopping.  

During my blog break, I cleaned and organized several areas in and around our home that were big jobs but I’m so glad I had the time and ability to do them.  

One of those jobs was making a cleaning closet.  

In our garage is a small closet that was not designated for anything so it ended up being a catchall.  

I talked about wanting to make a cleaning closet in this post http://ifyoudostuff.blogspot.com/2022/05/2nd-week-of-may-this-weeks-to-do-list.html

I didn’t take a before photo but that’s the after photo. 

 The vacuum, carpet cleaner and spin mop are in there, along with a regular mop and bucket and some assorted dusters, brooms, etc

It’s a small closet and it didn’t turn out Pinterest worthy but I appreciate it every time I clean. 

When I was thinking about doing this,  I thought I would need to buy a hanging rack but a few nails but in the shelf support work perfectly to hang every thing and didn’t cost a thing.
