First I’ll show my homekeeping things from the last day or 2.
We have 2 freezers and 1 is quite small. It really needed defrosted. So I emptied it and turned it off. Then I put 2 beach towels folded to fit on 2 shelves. When I checked it after 3 hours, the ice had melted and dripped into the towels- very easy!
Then I organized the frozen food.
The big freezer has meats, vegetables, nuts, chicken broth, etc
The small freezer has some frozen treats, breads and fast to fix foods
No apologies for the fast food items - grandchildren will be here this summer, sometimes at the spur of the moment. It’s very nice to have easy meals they enjoy with no fuss.
Our 15 year old washer quit working Thursday. I really don’t like being without a washer and my sweet husband drove to Oklahoma City to get this new one.
So far, it works so nice!
We’ve had a very cool and wet May and June is starting out that way too.
How’s your weather?
Gardening is a little slow but we are enjoying strawberries very much!
This strawberry seemed to have antlers 😳
Yesterday’s kitchen stuff - I emptied and cleaned the 3 drawers and everything in the door of the fridge.
A few veggies were starting to get sad so I made a chopped salad and peeled all the carrots.
Other meals in May
Beans in the crockpot before I added the water and cooked them
Taco 15 bean soup with cornbread and blackberry cobbler
Spinach from our garden, creamed potatoes and salmon patties
I haven’t sewn this week but earlier in May, I sewed up a stack of potholders
I also deep cleaned my van’s interior and got my car seats up to date for the grands that need car seats.
This booster seat had a stain on the cover and it was bugging me so- I sewed a cat on top of the stain.
When the grand that sits on this seat saw it, he giggled and so did his brother 😊
Clean van interiors are so pleasant!

The biggest news here is that a very sweet child has been added to our family. (Grandchild #9!)
No details at all as it is an adoption still in progress.
The sweetie will spend time with us while parents work.
I found this nifty changing table on Facebook Marketplace (it’s also on Amazon) and it’s perfect for the short time left that the child will be in diapers
It folds up and is very sturdy even though it may not look like it in the photo.
Hope you all have a lovely June- I’ll try to blog but I can’t promise I’ll have time
❤️ Rhonda
