WOW………….what a busy sounding title to my post today right? Well, that’s because it’s Friday Housecleaning Day but it’s also Friday Fill-Ins with 15andMeowing and McGuffy’s Reader. So I think THIS week I’ll do the fill-ins FIRST then tell you about the BIG CLEANUP event.
This week the sentences to fill-in are: (This Friday I’m doing the fill-ins instead of Mom, and my answers are in RED)
1. The best brand of kitty treats is Whiskas Temptations (especially the tuna ones!).
2. I refuse to buy toys unless there is a sale or a coupon. (that’s because I have tons of toys…..but if Mom gets a coupon for a freebie or sees something on BIG sale she will get it for me!)
2. I refuse to buy toys unless there is a sale or a coupon. (that’s because I have tons of toys…..but if Mom gets a coupon for a freebie or sees something on BIG sale she will get it for me!)
3. I am inspired by animals who do hospital visits or help in disasters or who visit nursing homes, etc..
4.Whenever I hear Mom call me (and sometimes I don’t hear her), I run to her – always.
TA DA! Thanks to 15andMeowing and McGuffy’s for this FUN Friday activity! NOW – ON WITH THE HOUSECLEANING!
Today we are actually cleaning INSIDE and OUTSIDE but Mom, Dad and I (the Broomhildas retired) are handling INSIDE and the power washing company will be handling the OUTSIDE. Every two years my Mom and Dad get the house power-washed……….we have a lot of trees and all the shady parts of the house get algae on the siding and Mom says “ICK” and Dad says “YIKES” and I say “HURRY UP AND DO IT SO I CAN GET SOME PEACE AROUND HERE”. I’ll just listen to the noise those power washing thingies make and be glad when it’s over. I think we will have the inside done before the outside starts though.
DONE! Lunch break!
WHAT – no bacon milk shake?
OK – that’s about it from the house of horror on the cleaning front……………..no doubt the outside will be as spic and span as the inside is when the power wash doooooods get here. Let’s hear it for INSIDE and OUTSIDE cleaning day!
Love your fill-ins!!! What a big help you are to your mom and dad!!!

You know I think I’d like to do visiting like that but I’m so shy and have arthritis so bad, I think my day came and went for being able to handle that.

I wonder where the Broomhildas are? This crew looks like they can get the job done. We need to get our outside cleaned one of these days. We had our siding put on 6 years ago and there are no trees right near the house , but it would still be good to clean it. XO

My furkids love those snacks too! They have so many toys, but only a few that they really like to play with. Toby likes to play fetch with a plastic spoon best of all! :-). I love all kinds of therapy animals and especially those who help people who are dealing with trauma from disasters. Animals know the way to help hearts heal! My furkids come when called too, except when they don’t hear me… sometimes Toby can be very hard of hearing! ;-). They also are quick to come when they hear me opening any kind of food package for cats or humans! I admire your plan to get the house all cleaned up quickly! Those bacon fries truly look delicious!
