Our weekend was very busy, and our afternoon was hectic, to say the least. Hubby was taking out some nails from the back part of the house to work on the pocket door area. When he got started, all the shelves in the hallway pantry came tumbling down, food and all! The shelves had been FULL of food, and some of the containers broke. Can you guess what broke open and landed up all over the floor? Flour did you say? Yes, indeedy. Did I hear you say Karo syrup and some molasses? Yes, indeedy again!!! What a mess I had to clean up! Hubby would have helped, but he had to take the shelves down the rest of the way and repair the doorway! It was funny in a way because we had LOTS of canned goods that we had forgotten about because the shelves are SO deep. Everything was outdated and some of the cans had "exploded" without our knowledge. Can you say big sloppy mess, boys and girls? Have you ever seen a can of partially opened Vienna sausages that has petrified? Totally unreal! I cannot believe that there were NO bad smells! Have you ever seen canned food that has rusted through and have the bottom lid stuck to the shelf and the whole thing disintegrate just by touching it? We did not even try to salvage anything except the small appliances--I even found another crockpot!!!--and some storage material (Ziplock bags, plastic wrap, etc.). I told Hubby that we cannot have any deep shelves anymore where we cannot see all the items. And all canned food has to be together in the big pantry and not scattered throughout the house! How gross! What a lot of extra work for us!!! Well, I am going to rest for a while and then it's off to bed. TTYT
I still miss her, though~ looking forward to celebrating with her when they get back from AZ.
