Pushing the Broom and Filling In!

FILLINS

YAY!  Friday Fill-Ins Blog Hop hosted by 15andmeowing AND McGuffys Reader and I’m doing that FIRST today then will tell you about today’s cleaning activity with the Broomhildas!

Today’s Fill-ins are below, with answers in RED this week!!!   Ready?   Set?  Go!   Oh – and I’m letting Mom fill-in today……I won’t always be that generous, but I thought she might like having some fun too once in a while (but not too often….I don’t wanna spoil her!):

Week 10, July 18, 2016:
1. I prefer seafood to meat*.
2. Cancer treatment was much harder than I expected.
3. One way that I relax is sitting on the bench down in the woods OR on our shady front porch.
4. Sammy always makes me smile.
*unless it’s a bacon cheeseburger which I can’t resist PERIOD

Thanks Mom!   I will probably do Fill-ins next week myself…….I just thought as a little treat I’d let YOU do them ONCE in a while.   If you’d like to play along, you can link your Fill-Ins on either of the host blogs by clicking on their links above!!    If you don’t want to fill-in, you can always visit those who did fill-in………they’re all there just waiting for a visit from YOU!
Now – onward to the big Friday activity around here which is cleaning the house.  You may recall last week we were on our own around here – Mom, Dad, and me with a little help from a couple of my friends handled the housecleaning.   The Broomhildas had been “out” for a couple of weeks…………WELL, we heard from them yesterday and they have gone into business for themselves!   That’s right – they have their OWN cleaning business now………….!   How totally cool is that????
CLEANINGBROOM
Their new business card!
So the Broomhilda crew was here bright and early and did the usual splendid job of hiding the mess cleaning and putting everything back where it belongs.   After a week of ME and Dad hanging out around the house, Mom needs help and the Broomhildas know just what to do!!
This guy does the tough stuff.......cleaning around my food dish and my litterbox!

This guy does the tough stuff…….cleaning around my food dish and my litterbox!

Well they were in and out in a flash – they sure know what they’re doing…………..and I asked Mrs. Broomhilda how Baby Broom was doing – she said he’s almost too big for his baby buggy now and is attending nursery school.    Boy I bet that teacher has her hands full!

BOOMER

Boomer Broomhilda is growing up!

So that’s about the size of my Friday…………we’re all spic and span for another week and also all filled-in for Friday Fill-Ins.    Now what?   Why napping of course!!!

  3. Mom drove her friend for cancer treatment last week. It’s not fun. Your mom is a tough cookie. Speaking of cookies, if Miss Stephanie needs any help cleaning up crumbs from that cake, I’m available!

  4. Good Moooooooooooorning Sammy! I borrowed CH’s laptop to get here!
    I prefer a stick shift to automatic!
    My first driver’s test was much harder than I expected.
    One way that I relax is to sit under the Oaks and listen to the birds.
    Seeing kitties always makes me smile! *And I am with your Mom on the CHEESEBURGER!
    Your Mom is a brave lady. Happy Birthday to Miss Stephanie!

  5. Thank you for letting your Mom participate today Sammy- you are a sweet guy 🙂 I enjoyed her answers, well except for the fact that she had to go through awful cancer treatment- I can’t even imagine how horrible that is. And I know you make her very happy. I wonder how far the Broomhilda’s travel- I need them desperately. Have a great weekend! XO

  7. I’m sorry about the cancer treatment being difficult. Cancer is bad enough without the treatments wrecking a person, too. 😦

    Happy birthday to Miss Stephanie. 🙂

    That cake and the cupcakes are adorable. I love it!

    Have a blessed day.

    • Your Mom would have a nice big cleaning crew if all of you pawticipated and wore those dusting shoes! I think napping is a better way to spend cleaning day!! Hope you try fill-ins………you can find them on 15andMeowing AND McGuffy’s Reader every Thursday (they post the sentences the night before!).

      Love and Happy Friday!

    • The Broomhildas obviously have a GOOD THING going! Now they’re in business and we suspect they will be so popular even WE won’t be able to have them here every week! Yes your Dad knows how UN-FUN cancer treatment can be and like my Mom he also knows that it WORKS! 😉

  10. Mom so agrees with your Mom about seafood. Now if only we could get some good fresh seafood here in the KC area, where it’s all about BEEF!!!

    We would really enjoy relaxing on that porch with your Mom too.

    • Seafood is tough around here too – it didn’t USED to be – we had the beautiful Eastern Shore and Maryland crabs and seafood but as you know, pollution and over-fishing have taken a toll. Sadly we “import” most of our seafood from either up NORTH or down South. We’re hoping one day things get turned around……BEEF is yummy too – as I said Mom and her cheeseburgers and Dad and his steak but by and large, my Mom is a seafood girl!!!!!
