Years ago, when I had four kids in five years, I realized that having a clean house was an unrealistic (and unreachable) goal. My house was where my family resided but was never my primary role.I still feel that way. It seems kinda sad to retire only to spend your remaining years doing nothing but cooking and cleaning for yourself. You really need to get a life!
Anyway, this attitude creates a problem when I'm having guests. I'm doing Easter dinner for ten people and I have to start cleaning now. The menu is:
- Baked ham and salmon
- Hash brown casserole
- Four bean salad
- Waldorf salad
- Dinner rolls
- Relish tray
- Cherry pie
- Lemon meringue pie
Then after the guests and food are all gone. I will start back on a diet eating vegetable soup and sugar free jello. I am getting SO BORING!

Dearie, with two kinds of PIE, who is going to be looking at your housekeeping? My eyes would stay strictly on the pies...what a delightful menu you have planned...
Not too boring, J.
I'm giving you an award. You can claim it from my blog: The Great Sea.
Haven't had Lemon meringue pie in years. Sounds tasty.
I SOOOO love your graphics! The top one describes my life now, and the bottom one has long been my life's motto. I am the eldest daughter of a perfectionistic housekeeper, and burned out early on cleaning and tidiness. These days I figure that if someone can't tolerate my messy house, they probably weren't true friend material, anyway!
