Spring house cleaning rearing its ugly head
It’s that time of year when spring house cleaning once again rears its ugly head. Time moves quickly It hasn’t been that long ago we tossed a throw rug over an old ice cream freezer that tumbled from an over crowded closet because we couldn't squeeze it back into the closet and never did find any where else to put it. It’s absolutely necessary that the bathroom be painted this summer During the big blizzard several years ago this reporter lost all sense of reason, after being house bound for weeks, and painted our tiny bathroom a bright fire engihe red It gave us some idea of how it must feel to be swallowed by a whale At the moment the bathroom is painted a battered shade of pale pink The outside of the house is due for a paint job this week As usual we couldn't agree on a color so we compromised on a mixture of gray brown shades. So far everyone who has seen the paint chip has frowned and made strange muffled gagging sounds. One downstairs bedroom needs a floor to ceiling overhaul so it can be reclassified as a den. Hubby suggested we wait till Halloween and charge for tours. Going into that room at high noon would scare the’wits but of anyone. At night it resembles a set for a

science fiction horror film. Numerous times this reporter has summoned all-her courage, charged into the room, hastily pushed a few things around, retreated back into the living room and leaned against the wall gasping for breath. We seem to have lost a lot of things since last summer. Hubby hunted for three weeks before he found the cushions for our porch furniture. A baking dish is missing. One of the kids probably broke it and is afraid to tell. A’ pair of hedge trimmers also vanished but that’s not much of a problem because we don’t have a hedge. One boat oar is gone, so is the mop bucket, a bug bomb, my summer sandals, most of the books I was saving to read and all of our electrical extension cords. There is no way to postpone any longer the things that must be done around here. The other day Hubby mumbled something about making sure all our insurance was paid up and I saw him putting new laces in his steel-toe work shoes. The last time we seriously tackled spring cleaning, house painting and repairs; limping, bandaged and grumpy family members hardly spoke to each other for weeks afterward. There must be a better way.
They will be assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Walls and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Allen.
