No the dead mice are in the basement furnace room. That's DH's job...he
monitors the traps and is getting pretty good with the mouse trap fling.
Those suckers really fly! I, on the other hand, pretty much flung it at my
feet the one time I tried to rid a trap while he was gone on a trip.
As far as beetles....they are everywhere!!! We had a terrible Fall with box
elder bugs and Asian beetles (they look like sweet lady bugs..but they
AREN'T). I had hoped the winter would kill them off, but I've been killing
them in the house all winter. Spraying kills the ones that are there at the
moment, but doesn't seem to lessen the number coming in behind them. Stupid
bugs!!!
The glassware is clean and looks really pretty. The dishes are dusted.
Both my ovens have been cleaned. I'm machine embroidering white linen
napkins with Easter motifs and my guests names. I got the napkins at
Tuesday Morning, 12 for 19.99, and they are very well made. They even have
an insert of the open lace that looks like a ladder...I can't remember the
term...my Martha Pullen days are long behind me....entredeux???? Something
like that comes to mind. Before you think that's too "Martha"..... I can
send the napkins home with my guests and I don't have to do the laundry!!!
hahahaha

Are there any actual cobwebs on any of this stuff? Dead mice or beetles?
No,
didn't think so. Now take a deep breath. Dust off the top plate in each
stack if you really have to. Being able to see through the crystal is just
fine and already more than anyone has the right to ask.

I shouldn't have done it! In anticipation of having a group for dinner
on
Sunday, I looked at the glasses in my china cabinet. You ARE supposed
to
be
able to see through crystal glasses aren't you? Darn! But in honor of
my
dear sweet mother in law who gave me her beautiful glassware when she
moved
to a smaller apartment (and died in January), I'm carefully hand washing
and
drying each one....with a linen towel just as she did. I'm almost
wishing
she hadn't given me so MANY! I left my rings on while washing and they
are
looking pretty sparkly too!
Would it be cheating very much if I only washed the glass shelves and
glasses? Could I leave the glass shelves with the pottery dishes I'm
not
using alone? I'll leave the lights off in the cabinet. I still need to
figure out a menu. My family could overdose on ham and a couple potoato
casseroles and desserts, but that doesn't look very classy for company.
There should be some obligatory vegetables and fruit.
