  1. Closed on my house today. Now the work begins. Have various service people scheduled over the next week (electrician, plumber, carpet, Google Fiber) and then cleaning!! And after all that can begin to finally start moving things gradually. Will be a couple of months before I am completely out of this place, but may be able to start staying there before.

     

    At the closing this afternoon with my realtor. I'm the old one.

  2. Last night I couldn't think of a single thing I felt like eating. Settled on buttered Jasmine rice with tomato and citrus garlic seasoning.

  3. Since I'll be moving in a couple of months, I'm trying to clean out the freezer. An unmarked container turned out to be black-eyed peas. Not the best thing for a nearly 90 degree day,, but it was tasty!

  4. After a few months of looking, I bought a house! Assuming it passes all inspections tomorrow, I will close on 6/20. Ranch with fully finished basement and awesome sunroom and deck. Will be an adjustment to get used to a smaller place after so many years in huge places, but it will be a good place for this little old lady. Still in Kansas City area.

    Will be a couple of months before I move--still downsizing and packing, but I will start taking things over gradually. Excited to be entering this new chapter of life.

  5. I actually cooked! Italian sausage, a little diced potato, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, herbs/spices. Baked to cook them topped with spinach and cheese and browned. Pretty tasty.

    I have negative feelings about Arkansas. Am I wrong?

    I've not spent much time there (though I have aunt/uncle who live in Mountain Home). But should you decide to go for whatever reason, Eureka Springs is OK. And not too far from there, Crystal Bridges museum is nice. We went when it very first opened and it was not fully open, but I understand now that it is wonderful.

     

     

  7. I recently asked on FB about good places to make an overnight trip. Several people recommended Des Moines. Apparently they have some superb restaurants there.Who knew!

     

    I keep saying that one of these days I will make a driving trip through Kansas to go see the salt mine and all the funky "World's Largest" type attractions. A kitsch trip if you will.

  8. It was my lucky day. I got a big box of cookbooks on the local Buy Nothing group from a very nice lady. A friend offered me a huge bunch of moving boxes--the big, expensive to buy kind in great sizes/shapes--and bags of packing materials. And another friend brought me 2 packages of fresh raviolis and a carton of ice cream.

  9. I had milk and cheeses to use up so made a very small baked mac and cheese with cheddar, blue cheese and some of the pepperoni and mozzarella crisps I got at Costco. Very tasty and my doctor would probably not be happy about it. ☺️

  10. A friend dropped off a bag of lovely fresh herbs for me yesterday morning. So, I had an arugula/herb salad for supper. With tomatoes, tomatoes and some crumbled crisps I got on sale at Costco. With buttered Cristal bread.

    The Clash in 1977:

    "American detectives are always on the TV/'Cos killers in America work seven days a week..."

    Columbo, Cannon, Kojak, Rockford, probably still Ironside reruns and more I've forgotten.

    Perhaps exaggerated by the very few TV channels in the UK it did seem like 24/7 just the facts ma'am. Not cool to be watching, so -- being cool -- I didn't.

    You forgot Mannix.
