We made a huge vacuum investment when we got the 3 dogs...one of those Dyson machines and it works so well, I LOVE it...but we've had to get replacement parts each year now...they really don't make them like they used to. I love the idea of the 12 foot extension hose though. Your doilies are so pretty! :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-45650244053877647362018-08-25T16:28:54.195-04:002018-08-25T16:28:54.195-04:00Your doilies are wonderful and what baby bliss you...Your doilies are wonderful and what baby bliss you had.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081916135477167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-23784996849458420162018-08-22T13:22:50.180-04:002018-08-22T13:22:50.180-04:00Thank you, Shez!

And actually grateful to live in a time and part of the world where these things actually feel like needs when in other parts of the world they would seem like ridiculous luxuries. When things break or need repair (or simply get old and ugly), this reality reminds me to be thankful.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-62735081199063324792018-08-22T13:17:46.038-04:002018-08-22T13:17:46.038-04:00Even with another repair staring us in the face, I...Even with another repair staring us in the face, I believe there's a purpose for every thing under heaven. So whether new furniture is in our near future, or not, I'm a big believer that there's a higher plan than mine at work. And our Heavenly Father is in charge of it. And am thankful for that faith. Faith keeps me grounded when the material cannot.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-31020229395532262852018-08-22T13:10:32.118-04:002018-08-22T13:10:32.118-04:00:):)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-35427861032440299702018-08-22T13:09:56.752-04:002018-08-22T13:09:56.752-04:00Oh...

I'm reading backwards (from the bottom comment to the top), and I commented below about our kitchen faucet needing replacing (as well as pipes and a kitchen sink - and probably the floor of the cabinet below the sink - which makes us wonder where to stop). I'm not happy with any of the choices we have regarding where to stop, but a decision needs to be made soon. A call is in to the plumber, so hopefully by the time he calls me back I will be be settled about how much we actually want (or are willing) to do in our kitchen.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-10958149452489871002018-08-22T13:02:00.517-04:002018-08-22T13:02:00.517-04:00I agree with you about the baby snuggles! :)I agree with you about the baby snuggles! :)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-12652288914104213922018-08-22T13:00:18.182-04:002018-08-22T13:00:18.182-04:00Thank you, Marsha! :)Thank you, Marsha! :)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-60970228055204846172018-08-22T12:58:41.712-04:002018-08-22T12:58:41.712-04:00So far, this week is starting off much smoother. ...So far, this week is starting off much smoother. :) Though we do have a decision to make about our kitchen. Faucet had developed a leak and pipes and sink need replacing as well. Which makes us ponder about whether we should go ahead and jump into a remodel of our seriously outdated (1964) kitchen, or do the smaller (still expensive) fix and continue to make do and hope for the ability to move soon and let new owners create the kitchen they truly want. It really doesn't ever end...Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-78198418645497138142018-08-22T12:54:37.031-04:002018-08-22T12:54:37.031-04:00Thanks, Maria.

Looks like the kitchen faucet might be fixed or replaced this week.

Sometimes you just have to replace things (you'd think they'd last longer wouldn't you!!). I had to replace my iron because my old one decided it ought to pucker up and hold onto the steam until bursting forth in a huge cloud - could have been a good scalding just waiting to happen. So....bought a cheapie replacement thinking it would be 'good enough' for my needs. Hmmm...nope. So....taking that one back and have purchased a new (much more substantial) one. Our tools are more important that what we give them credit for sometimes. Enjoy your new vacuum and dryer!!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-16825492791638282822018-08-19T22:24:36.080-04:002018-08-19T22:24:36.080-04:00oh dear!
