My mother (Dorothy) came to “visit” this weekend since Roger is away. Don’t get me wrong, she likes seeing Roger, but I think she likes having a crack at organizing, cleaning and paring down our clutter even more. She worked me like a dog the last two days cleaning out closets, and even degreasing the stove. I was all for getting a new stove, but NO, we had to clean this one.
She went away with a carload of stuff for the thrift store, as well as about 30 towels for the vet’s office. She wanted a crack at recycling Roger’s boxes of papers, but I had enough and started whining. Man, she is a dynamo at 73. I am pretty sure I will never have that much energy. Well, at least not for cleaning. Thanks, mom!!
I know my mom would want to organize things, but wouldn’t do it for me.
Roger’s Broccoli Chicken Casserole recipe was a big hit here the other day. Have to figure out how to cut out more salt, though (not salting the noodles is one way…; I’m already using low-salt ingredients).
Mom kept me focused vs. actually doing the organizing. I have decided these sessions are the way we communicate since neither of us do well just sitting and chatting.
Glad to hear the BCC worked out. I should pay more attention to the sodium content of things. I am guessing that the onion rings are high in sodium.
There are some boxed things which I can’t eat these days because they taste too salty, like some of the stuffing mixes.
