You are clipping right along there, Charmion!

SRS, I am glad I am not the only who does drop stuff on the floor of my car! With Morgan in the car, it got so bad, I finally bought a regular, 18" tall trash can and put it behind the passenger's seat. I can just reach across and behind and now all of the stuff goes in it and it is easy to dump. Morgan used to be really bad about dropping stuff, but he likes using the bin now.:-)

We have had a productive day, finally! Rog carted all of the giveaway stuff from my sister, out to the car. He brought in a few things from the car which found immediate homes on shelves, in drawers, etc. He mowed the huge backyard, while I washed the dishes and a few more of my mom's bottles. He also decluttered some more in the kitchen so now, in his area, there is NOTHING on the floor and the pile of STUFF on top of the 2-drawer file cabinet is GONE!! (I saw him summarily dump an old footstool I kept thinking he'd fix and I was OKAY with that!**bg**) Yes!!

He helped me plant the catnip and flax, in between letting my daughter's dogs out, twice, AND setting the water on her lawn. We also went to the garden centre and bought three heirloom tomato plants and got the pots ready for them. I have to buy more soil to mix up for them, tomorrow, or we would have them planted already. I also gave the dog a bath - he really, really needed it - and washed the towels and bath mat used for him, as well as our sheets, today. And, we have already made the bed, instead of waiting until late at night when we can't go to bed unless we do!

And, I had a nice long talk with a friend on the phone, and an almost long one with my daughter and grandsons who live back East as today is their 10th birthday. I cannot believe they are that old, already!

Phew! Time to relax a bit, I think. I love this thread; you all are so helpful!
