Hello everyone. I hope y’all have had a good week. I have had a very busy week with that long to do list. I wasn’t expecting to get as much done as I did but I feel better now that it’s mostly done.
Above is what the first spare bedroom looks like, it’s what we call the kids room. Ducky likes it now that I have the curtains open where he can look outside whenever he wants.
When two of our grandsons were living in this room, it mostly looked like this below picture🥴
Besides house work, I made two kinds of stock. I cooked the hambone left from New Year’s Day. I’ve never made ham broth but my son said he did and they liked it. The big crockpot has beef soup bones that we got from our daughter’s family when they bought a butchered cow.
I let the broth chill overnight in the fridge.
When I checked on it this morning, I was pleased to see that the broth from the beef was like gelatin almost. Anyway I ended up with 3 quarts of beef stock and about a quart and a half of ham stock. It’s all in the freezer waiting to be cooked into something delicious.
This is last weeks to do list. I didn’t get much done in the master bedroom or bath this week but that can happen this coming week
In our dining room, is an accumulating pile of stuff that needs to leave the house, some of it is from our daughters family and some is from our home. So I will go through that this week, and list some of it on the Stillwater buy nothing Facebook list and some of it may go to Goodwill and some of it may go to the trash, we will see.
There is a lot to do at daughter‘s new home. Lots of boxes to unpack so it’s not ready for pictures just yet. But the kitchen is the first room they set up and it is a big beautiful kitchen. That island is huge! And you can’t tell it from the picture but it has three or four stacks of drawers on both sides so there is so much storage. And behind the stove is a walk-in pantry. The floors look wood but those are ceramic tile that look like wood.
That opening was originally supposed to be bricked but there is a brick shortage so the builder suggested wood as an alternate and I think it looks so nice!
They were able to get just enough brick for the exterior after a wait, but to get enough brick for the interior was going to take much much longer.
It’s a beautiful new kitchen, isn’t it? ❤️🏡❤️
I’ll be back tomorrow with a new to do list.
