Cinco de Mayo



Yes. my Birthday



The main fanfare goes to the little gal who helped me clean the house today. All of 98 lbs soaking wet she jumped on a chair then WALKED across the top of the French Empire Sideboard to hand stuff down to me to be washed then she wiped and dusted everything else so I could hand back the cleaned items. Cobwebs are Gone... Dust Bunnies extinct. We focused on the main level this time, however, when I recoup a bit more I'll have her back.



I made us Oriental Chicken Salad Sandwiches for lunch. She loved them. JD's had them before. Before she'd arrived I'd fried some boneless, skinless chicken thighs and allowed them to cool off and drain. I diced some small green onions, a couple stalks of celery, a small can of sliced water chestnuts. I diced the chicken with kitchen shears before I added the meat to the veggies. A healthy shake of Lawrey's Seasoned Salt, along with a good dump of Oriental "5" Spice then a buncha Mayo. She'd never seen home made potato wedges made before and watched me do them.

    Weary from all the work today... even though most was spent on my rump in a chair.

Wishes you a very Happy Birthday..... may your day be special and blessed and you only have to do whatever you enjoy. After a day like today, you will probably need a day of rest and relaxation.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Oh, we like Culver's...... especially the Cod sandwich. We ask them to leave off the cheese because Joe doesn't need the extra sodium and I don't think cheese adds anything to a fish sandwich anyway.
Enjoy your lunch!

Happy Birthday! What a great way to start the day - the house spring cleaned and exotic chicken salad sandwiches! I'm sure the woman appreciated your specially prepared lunch as an additional token of appreciation for her efforts. I imagine your spirits singing/dancing at the now cob-free home. New beginnings

The Butter Burger & Fries is the Culver's mainstay.

She worked so tirelessly and with such effort I paid her a good tip.

Happy belated Birthday wishes to you.

Sounds like a really fruitful and good day, nothing like a good spring clean. Now you have a lovely sparkling clean house.

I'm sure that nice lady appreciated her nice tasty lunch after all her hard work.

The gal was quite enthusiastic about cleaning and getting the job done right. We just focused on the dining room and parlor on the main level. Next time the basement and then second floor. She is worth her weight in gold.

And I bet there is no way to correct it, right?
