May 2 - washer issue and school pick up lines 😱

Hello everyone 

The appliance repairman came yesterday and fixed the problem.

This little screen that goes somewhere was full and crusted with “sediment”

It’s a tiny little filter but it was just full of packed sand.  And that’s why the cycles weren’t working.

He put a new one on.

I’ve done laundry all day and every load washed just like it was supposed to. 

It’s funny because I had an anonymous blog comment 2 days ago and they said their repairman cleaned out a bunch of sediment in their washer too.  

My town has a big shortage of school bus drivers.  So this spring,  the school district decided to rotate areas of service.  

It’s a big problem for people without vehicles or relatives willing to help. 

But I’m happy to pickup 2 grands who are without a bus for a week or 2. 

One of their parents take them to school and I just need to pick them up.  

I knew lots of people would be picking up kids but I was surprised by this line.  

I got there 20 minutes early and the pickup line was already 3 1/2 blocks from the school!  And there are 2 pickup lines on different sides of the school depending on the students last names. 

Once school let out, actual pickup went smooth and pretty fast.  

I’ve been busy today.  My big accomplishments were deep cleaning our bathroom and bedroom.  

No photos but I was behind on cleaning and it feels so much nicer and fresher.

May Day 2023

Good morning ☀️ 

First here is this week’s to do list 

Sometimes I put so many things on the list, I know they won’t get done that week. But this week is a shorter list, and I do hope to accomplish all of it. 

We will see!

There are many stores to shop at in Branson Missouri. We only went to a Walmart twice to get groceries.

 We also went to two thrift stores in Branson. I am very selective about what I bring home anymore.

One of the thrift stores had quite a few rubber stamps. I looked through all of them and only bought this set of three. The set was five dollars.

Three skeins of cotton yarn, one dollar each.

I don’t crochet much, but I do like cotton dish cloths, and I like the colors of these yarns. 

I also bought about 10 cotton bandannas from the women’s accessories department.

 My husband likes to use bandannas for handkerchiefs, and 100% cotton ones are very hard to find. He was happy with this find!

I also bought him at a large coffee mug for a Quarter. All of the coffee cups in our rented condo were tiny  and he likes a big mug. 

Happy May Day, everyone🌸🪻🌷
