* THE RONALD HELPS OUT *

 

I'm not sure if I've mentioned that The Ronald does help me around the house...somewhat. He took it upon himself a few years ago to load and unload the dishwasher, which I truly appreciate. I really do. (You already know there is a big "But" coming, don't you?)...

 

BUT, the manner in which he "puts things away" has a lot to be desired. I have a cardboard container to keep all the various lids in. (I got it free from a grocery store because it was empty. I'd intended to cover it with contact paper, but never got around to it, and it doesn't really matter since it's inside the cabinet.)



 

 

I (used to) keep the plastic bowls and measuring cups stacked inside each other.

The cookie sheet goes in the oven drawer.

I also (used to) keep the casserole dishes and pots & pans stacked as well as possible.

The white and blue fabric-looking material is actually rubbery shelf liner that I (used to) put between the glass casserole dishes for extra safety.

AND THIS PHOTO.......

The reason he is hiding is because he is so embarrassed

 by the way The Ronald puts away clean dishes!! J

~~ Am I Living In The 1950's? ~~

On July 17th, I wrote about my much-hated dishwasher, and the strange turn of events that somehow caused me to decide I'd rather wash our dishes by hand, then buy a new one.

Just this afternoon, my husband said something to me that I would never have expected to hear from him.....nor would I expect to hear it from any of my friends' husbands!

He said, "You know....I really do like getting a dish or glass from the cupboard and not seeing spots all over it." OMG! For that brief moment, I had a husband just like Ward Cleaver!!
I was actually pleased to hear him say that, too, which makes it even weirder....I felt just like June Cleaver!!
