Cleaning Out and little rambling...

Today, my goal was to pack up more of my house. I did not reach my goal. I packed a couple of boxes, but mostly I cleaned.

I started in the kitchen-where any "good" housewife would. I cleaned out the disgusting (molding!) trash can, the fridge, cleaned out cabinets and checked every expiration date on every food item in my cupboard-even the spices. I also did dishes...can I just tell you HOW excited I am to have a dishwasher in my NEW house! I think that is what I am most excited about! It's the little things. After doing dishes by hand for 4 years, and wasting I don't know how many hours, I will finally have a machine to do my work! Ahh...

It is somewhat bittersweet; moving. There are a lot of memories connected with this house, as there were many with our townhouse. I'm sure there will be many more to make in our new house and I look forward to them, as I reminisce about the people, events and life changes that have occurred while we have lived in this house.

I looked through old pictures and old recipes. It amazes me how many connections we have with people over food. I guess that is the American way. Plus, I just LOVE food. And people!

I am fortunate to have an easy-to-please husband who loves just about everything I cook and tells me how good I am at it. I have enjoyed cooking this week-it's like a long, lost friend I haven't seen for a while.

I obviously had no goal for this post, so I can feel confident saying that I must have completed it, because I have nothing left to ramble.....
