    Hi
    I'm back from walking and with 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 29 degrees.
    The plan for the day is going to the Grocery Store, whether one or two I have not decided. I could stop at Whole Foods and pick up some bacon from the hot breakfast bar to use later this week or I could pick up the ShopRite Precooked bacon when I am there picking up water, Apples, Fresh Baby Carrots and Some Frozen Vegetables. I haven't decided, they are located a few minutes from each other despite being in adjacent towns.

    Well, so far Eddie got the kitchen floor swept and mopped. That was a chore and a half, with what the cats sometimes do to the kitchen floor. Don't ask.

    On cool down mode now, sitting in front of a fan. LOL. And waiting for the kitchen floor to dry so I can put everything back down on the floor that need to be put back down.

    More floors to sweep, of course. And bathrooms to clean. And vacuuming in the master bedroom and part of the master bath where there's carpet. This might not all get done today. Who am I kidding? This PROBABLY won't all get done today. But some more of it will. Just not sure how much. Definitely going to see that all the hardwood floors are swept.
    I wish the house had the hardwood floors exposed and not covered with rugs. Much easier to clean hardwood IMO.

    All hardwood floors except the zen penguin room swept. The young cats wanted to play with the piles of sweepings but were diverted by several toys tossed into the kitchen. Need to spot mop the hardwood floors but will get to that. Oh, and the hall bathroom (tile) has been swept, but not, as yet, mopped. I think Eddie may be finished for today, though he may get started on knitting another cat from all the cat fur dust bunnies that were swept up.
    I am still undecided what surface we want to put in the kitchen as soon as the subfloor is repaired or replaced. My brother and I are torn between Hardwood, Linoleum, or Wood Look tiles, There are pluses and minuses to all the choices. Hardwood or Linoleum could be dented by a dropped Pan or heavy plate, OTOH easy cleaning. Tile could be chipped by something dropped on it so...

    Have a Good Day

    Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 41 out there with an expected high of 70 and 0% chance of precipitation. I think I will try to get out to the store today and the bathrooms and vacuuming will be done either today or tomorrow. We'll see.

    When our first house was sold and remodeled, to be resold, the realtors offered to let me see the remodeling and I took a look. At first I thought they had put hardwood flooring in the kitchen, which I thought might not be the best idea as it could get easily stained by spills, though it later occurred to me that if you have it well polyurethaned this might not be a problem.

    It turned out they had put in the Wood Look tiles. I have to say that they looked GREAT and most people would probably not have realized that the floor wasn't wood without a close look or reaching down to feel it. Another possibility, of course, would be a poured floor, but that can be a bit tricky on a wood base.

    I believe I'd go with hard wood, tightly interlinked and VERY well sealed with several coats of polyurethane. Anything will eventually get chips, dents, or little grooves, but this will give the floor character. So I'd say go with what you think looks the nicest.

    This is a long one. I love liver and onions, and may try this technique sometime, though it's very rare anymore for me to buy liver. Besides, I then need to buy some fava beans and a nice Chianti to go with it. :wink:

    Good Morrning!
    I have to help muddy the waters on the kitchen floor debate... :)
    Consider Bamboo flooring. Very 'tough', great looking, and a renewable resource, easier to stand on than tile, OR take a good long look at cork flooring. I always wanted cork. Soft underfoot, but needs to be resealed on an annual basis, and maybe not a great choice if you're ecologically minded. I hate hardwood flooring...and I had beautiful maple hardwood in TN, which I promptly covered with wall to wall carpeting. Think about 2 little boys, kindergarten and 3rd grade and hardwood floors....NOPE!
    OK, back to my reading.....

    Ok! All watched. I 'previewed' the liver and onions, which I happen to have loved as a kid. Especially if my grandmother cooked it! That little Irish lady could cook the very best liver and onions ever! :) She put a lot of black pepper in it...mmmmm. Oh well, when you think of what the liver does its best not to indulge. :( Not to mention its meat!

    About to get dressed in street clothes, make a gym run, and a huge grocery run. Needing staples or "Pantry items" as they're now called! And Greens. I have no greens!! YYIKES!
    I do have frozen veggies, and a few fresh ones, I also have 'some' banana's, and apples, and a few grapes, so I'm pretty good there..

    Anyhow, will be a long day!

    Later...
    BTW, it is beautiful outside this morning. We need a whole string of these days, but meanie old weather people say after Sunday rain and storms, yet Another cold front coming thru...I really do wish Winter would either die, or at least go into remission! I'm over the cold! :)

    And now, having taken my shower immediately afterward, I can go shopping. :)

    Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 45 now with an expected high of 76 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    Still need a couple of items from the store but not much. I'll probably just run to Aldi and/or the nearby Publix for those.

    Need to finish cleaning in the bathrooms and do the vacuuming.

    Hi Ed
    Hmm... Food for thought. Wood can take a dent and stay looking the same if a bit more rustic.

    I have seen that type of tile in use at one of the local grocery Stores. It looks OK, OTOH that could be due to the color or the type of wood flooring copied.

    My Brother had bought a nice Silicon Hand held Squeegee to use in the shower after taking a shower and that helps keep any soap scum or film from building up. Since the Shower is a shower head above the bathtub the walls and tub wipe dry easily. The only part that can not be cleaned that way is the shower curtain.

    Hi Guys!
    Heading for my shower...helpful hint I read a long time ago...cleaning showers and tubs..buy CHEAP shampoo to clean with. Shampoo is made to clean oils and 'scum', and works beautifully on my porcelain tub...I don't have a stand alone shower, so no real corners. Worth a try next time Ed. :)

    Lots to do today, so I need to get started. And sometime this morning I want to make a tofu scramble as I've been wanting a breakfast burrito now for days!! Will have that for my lunch, and then clean the kitchen. Dinner tonite will be at Sweet Tomatoes. Its on my way to O's Gymnastics. And I have a FULL recycle bin, a stuffed garbage cart, a full 30 gallon bag of shredded paper, etc. to push, pull, drag, etc to the curb for tomorrow mornings pick up.

    Later...

    Hi Valerie
    If I said a breakfast Burrito sounds delicious, I have all the making except the wrap to make it in :(

    It sounds as if You have been busy with recycling and shredding :smile:
    My brother uses the Kitchen Can bags for shredded paper. I on the other hand once I discovered that You can buy can liners for the shredder where I can just pull it out and use a twist tie use them.

    Thanks for the Shampoo tip, I need to try that with the one shower that is a stand alone shower enclosure.

    Have a Nice Day, Enjoy the Dinner out

    Howdy y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 50 now with an expected high of 78 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    Need to get yesterday's cat bowls washed and get the cats fed. Still need those few items from the store and perhaps ingredients for some sort of casserole to bring to a party tonight.

    J got back early in the morning from Kentucky and my sister in law is asleep in the guest room now. She won't be coming to the party, as she was sort of last minute and space is limited, so only those who had already RSVP'd will be attending. But she can entertain herself quite well at home. I'll make sure to buy something at the store, if I go, that she can eat for her dinner.
