Okay, Henry got up early yesterday and said "Here's the list, first thing today is dealing with the kitchen. See all that stuff on the fridge? It has to come off...and you have to move it out and clean all the cat food that has rolled underneath it, not to mention the accumulation of dirt and dust that you will certainly find back there. You do NOT want the painters or the floor people to SEE that part of your house shame!" Now get to work!"
Henry really likes his perch on the newly cleaned off desk!
OMIGOD, the dirt we found behind and under the fridge was incredibly gross!
But it's gone now! ;-)
And we obeyed Henry V's command and took down the pictures that covered the fridge.
(they'll go back later)
DH said the glare from the clean fridge made him feel like he was living in a model home.
Then we went to the hardware store to replace a back burner on the stove that had been
unusable for, ah...don't recall how many years...
and got BLACK burner drip pans, as I was tired of trying to scrub all the stuff
off of the old chrome ones. I figure this way new dirt won't show as much.
and it looks kind of arty.
The decorative plates and bowls that used to line that back tile are put away for now.
Oh, and that little carrot ceramic spoon holder?
A gift from my daughter when she was a little girl.
I will NOT part with it ever.
This just represents some of the dust in our house...
Now it shines!

Henry said, "Job well done."
DH took seven boxes of books to the SPCA thrift store yesterday!
What a way to spend a birthday!
But 25 of you came to my party yesterday here
and that made it very very special. Thank you so much for
all your many wonderful good wishes!
Tonight my brother is coming down to take us out to dinner.
I hope we can move, as we plan to continue our big clean today!
Oh there's Henry calling...I have to go..............
