The latest trends...



Have you ever noticed that when there is a headline about the latest trends in home innovations that many are geared for ridiculously higher priced larger homes for the one per-centers. I’m speaking double digit thousands or greater square footage. Since the biggest one we had was just short of four thousand square feet and that was plenty big for the four of us and all our company we used to get too!
Most regular Joes and Janes don’t have twenty by twenty bathrooms to have multi-fixtures of vast sizing, enormous soaking tubs with twenty jets, and walk through showers, and dual sinks of much depth, now that’s the latest too, no more glass above bowls and all under the umbrella of…the latest in home trends and definitely a must have!
Most kitchens are not wide enough for five lanes in a bowling alley with room for the latest six or eight burner Viking commercial grade stoves with griddles and grates for barbecues too with pot fillers above in the imported Italian tile wall with a hood large enough to cover a small city with the Carrera marble counter-tops surrounding it all or the floor to ceiling wall recessed commercial grade freezers and refrigerators or locations for two sinks one for bar use and one for decoration with  faucets that have motion detectors so you don’t have to worry about soiling them. And have I mentioned the lower more convenient microwaves built into the perfect height island with, food warmer insets, with two dishwashers one for tiny loads and one for larger family ones right next to your case of wine specific cooled refrigerator for when you bring a bunch up from your wine cellar! Never mind that most who have those fantastical baths and kitchens have help to keep them clean and probably with those kitchens help to cook and clean that up for you too!
I would, wouldn’t you? And since I don’t I won’t have any of it!

That’s another thing, what’s with all those commercial grade stainless appliances? We had a restaurant and we had to have stainless everything due to it being a health department issue here and that’s what they make/ made then… and the last thing I wanted in my home was for it to appear like a kitchen in a restaurant too; too cold looking for me, sorry for all you diehard stainless lovers!  My own kitchen is full of color, but on a white and blue background and I love it!

Whew that felt good to express my feelings… thanks.

Moving on…

Dangerous weather is on the move all throughout our United States with deadly, life threatening tornadoes going through our heartland once again.
The season of heavy rain, horrendous tornadoes are rushing through Oklahoma City as I write this, just the other day they were in Texas, causing six deaths there.
Over the weekend in Kansas and Nebraska were hit; all part of our tornado alley!
Minneapolis Minnesota, as well as neighboring states are on the watch out for tornadoes too tonight!

With all that has been happening in the news with Obama’s problems with having to fire his idiot IRS director and with the unending Benghazi inquisition as well as all the other items that his administration has had to take charge of; I am at a loss without any clear-cut answers yet.
People always are quick to rush to judgment and appear to be armchair quarterbacks with any politically sensitivity topics.
I prefer to wait and hear and read all the info from either side and then rush to judgement, my own.


Our hearts and prayers go out to those who were injured in that head-on commuter train crash in Connecticut.

In other news… our number one son lives the next town over from where that winning Powerball ticket was sold and we all do have a habit to buy our tickets at Publix our local grocery stores, we did. He hasn’t called yet…
For us, we did not win, unless; are two matching numbers worth anything? LOL!

On that note of a mysterious note, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!?
