Resurrection


I've no idea what these are, but they smell heavenly.


GOOD morning!

Continuing from last time..... 
Macie Ann continues to improve.  It's somewhat of a pain, preparing different meals and separating she and Grace at mealtimes -- but that gives me a whole new appreciation for mothers of multiples! Thanks so much for your nice comments!





What I didn't share, about a week ago our not 2-y/o clothes dryer gave up the ghost. Kaput. Again. 
(Don't get me started on Maytag 'Made in America.')

Thank goodness for ample space in the sun room I could lay out random articles to dry.

I was seriously thinking of re-creating that scene from Office Space where they drag the photocopier outside and beat it to death.


THEN ….. 
… with little else to do, Friday I stood at the dryer holding the 'on' button in place -- like that little kid who held his finger in the dam.

Whad'ya know?  It's worked like a champ ever since!

RIP
Sad to say, due to (my) inattention this beauty became root-bound.  Last Fall when I went to re-pot 'Linda' she went into shock and, in short order, passed away.

Lately I've tried -- without success -- to find another philodendron.
Our farmers market claims growers are unable to provide them just now.

THEN ... 
Yesterday Tom called me outside.  "Look!"

Why, it makes a body want to break into song …. 
"Up from the grave He arose!"

*****




Wishing y'all a great new week … stay safe!  

Hugs,
myra

  1. Electra-mechanical appliances have been a mystery since 'we' added so many more safety features. The contacts at times only need a 'slap' or kick to keep them going (or the kid with a finger in the dyke). LOL Glad it is working.
    AND YES, it is a thrill when you see something you thought was DEAD, spring to life.
    Such a 'breath easy' feeling.
    Love ya and ENJOYED the post (glad the kid is getting special attention and getting better!

    1. Sooo good to see you, Jack. ('Was concerned I'd said something to annoy you.) Ya, on all those features. My mother used to say, "Just something else to go wrong."

  5. Sometimes us Linda's just need some extra love and left to our own devices ((rofl)).

    We have a Maytag set and I am happy with it, so far, LOL.

    I hope you have a great week, my friend.

  6. My fifteen-year-old Amana dryer stopped working about a year ago. I haven't yet gotten a new one mainly because it's so difficult to have appliances delivered out here in the boonies.

    I've gotten used to hanging everything outside to dry......
    ....too bad it rains 320 days a year here in Tennessee.

    1. At least your dryer lasted 13 years longer than ours. This is the 3rd incident in 2 years. I'd rather have a 'plain jane' workhorse sans the bells and whistles any day.

  7. Aha ... so that is the problem? We have an indoor coffee plant. Had it for years. Suddenly it's gone all brown and dry. Despite being watered and kept in the warmth (not in the oven!). Could it be it's root bound? Too many roots for the small plant pot it's in?

    What should I do? Put it in a bigger pot?

    When our dish-washer broke down, whilst waiting for a new one to be delivered, I put the dishes in the washing machine. Somehow, out 24 pieces dinner set is now a 100 pieces dinner set!

    There are so many different dog food pellets. Some for young dogs, puppies, older dogs, working dogs and so on. Can't understand why. They all taste the same to me. Problem is I now lick myself in unlikely places in public!

    Come on Mevely, I hope you smiled at least once.

    God bless.

    1. More than once, actually. That 24-turned-100 piece dinner set had me in stitches! I hope you find someone to help heal the coffee plant. I'm the last person on the planet to consult about plant care.

  11. Love your resurrection theme here, Myra! Very imaginative, that's for sure. Glad your dryer came back to life, and that little Macie is on the mend. It's just not fun when kids or fur-babies get sick, is it? Enjoy your new plant, too.
    Blessings!

    1. I'm pretty surprised, but shouldn't discount God's reach … even as it extends to household appliances. LOL.
