Mopboards!! I had forgotten that, too. We always called them baseboards and when March rolled around my mom had me cleaning them with Murphy's Oil Soap. There was one room, the parlor, that "we" painted every year, at least once and usually twice. Everything was painted white...ceiling, walls, and woodwork. I got so that when I was a teenager I could do it all in one day. My sister is five years older than me and she was a little naughty so when I got in my teens, I learned to work. Instead of going to dances and football games, I learned to reupholster furniture, put ceiling tiles up and refinish hardwood floors. No wonder I was worn out by the age of 20. 😉

When I trim Heidi's hair this time of year I put the hair out for the birds and they love it. In the fall, I don't put it out because I'm afraid mice would love it, too. I just got that little girl a bottle of shampoo that was $22. Ha, I would never pay that for myself and if KISA knew it he would think I was crazy (he's right a lot, ya know LOL).

I see the deer ARE eating my tulips as they come up so I am going to try to devise some way to put nylon net over them so they can't get to them. It has worked well on the shrubs (except one, the wind blew the netting off). We have been blessed with such a warm winter that we have hardly had to use the woodburner at all!

jsan, that Skitter is getting old! I'll bet he's been hanging around you at least 10 years. Yes, time flies! Heidi just turned 8. (It was in the paper and the town had a small parade and you might have seen it on FOX News or CNN. ROFL)

Yes, inmax, there are 2 left and I don't care. Ha. They will come down sometime. I remember when we finished the basement, I had a tree up in our bathroom when they started and it was such a mess we just left the tree up until June. I swear, that's the longest I've ever had one up and it was extenuating circumstances. Right now I'm thinking about putting up an Easter tree. I bought some of those glitter branches with rice lights and as soon as I figure out what I'm going to put them in.... 🙂

Doreen366ML, you are going to have to shorten your name. 😉 I will go check out your valentines, I love to see your auctions. I have some headvases that I thought would do well but they are just sitting there on ebay, just like they did here at home. LOL

Hi to mim! Hope all is well with you and yours! Y'all have a great weekend!
