ABC's of HOMEMAKING.......

A ~Aprons--y/n If y, what does your favorite look like?
Oh my, we don’t want to mention aprons. I love aprons! I collect them. Not sure which one is my favorite. I'm also a messy cook, so it's a good thing I like aprons.

B ~ Baking--Favorite thing to bake?
I love to bake. I guess cookies would be my favorite. But my favorite cookie is No Bake Cookies.

C ~ Clothes line?
Yes, I have one. Don’t use it as much as I should, tho.

D ~ Donuts--Have you ever made them?
I don’t make them very often. I remember the ones my mom made when we were young. She made them from the Pillsbury biscuits in the tube. Put a hole in them and drop them in hot oil. They were delicious!

E ~ Everyday--One homemaking thing you do everyday?
The dishes, and I hate doing the dishes.

F ~ Freezer--Do you have a separate deep freeze?
You’re not going to believe this, but we have 3 separate freezers. An old deep freeze, my husband’s step dad gave us, it is in the garage. A large upright and a small upright we bought the 2nd summer of our marriage (that was 29 years ago and it still works good-knock on wood)

G ~ Garbage Disposer?
No garbage disposer-unless that would be the person who takes out the trash.

H ~ Handbook--What is your favorite homemaking resource?
Experience, neighbors and family. Don’t know what I’d do without them sometimes.

I ~ Ironing--Love it or Hate it? Or hate it but love the results?
I hate to iron. Usually only iron when I’m sewing.

J ~ Junk Drawer--y/n? Where is it?
We have a couple in the kitchen. They get cleaned out sometimes.

K ~ Kitchen--color and decorating scheme.
Red and yellow. I guess the scheme would be kind of country and retro.

L ~ Love--what is your favorite part of homemaking?
I love to cook, just don’t like cleaning up afterwards.

M ~ Mop--y/n?
I have a mop and a swifter (they are great).

N ~ Nylons, machine or hand wash?
Don’t wear them very often, but they are hand washed.

O ~ Oven--do you use the window or open the oven to check?
I’m always peeking.

P ~ Pizza--What do you put on yours?
Love pepperoni and mushrooms. I cook mine on a baking stone (they are great, nothing burns on them).

Q ~ Quiet--What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
I like to write or just rest and do nothing.

R ~ Recipe Card Box--y/n? What does it look like?
I have one that I put together in the 70s. It was one of those where you get a packet in the mail every few weeks or so. Those are on one side of it and on the other side are my recipes I’ve put on index cards. I have tons of recipe books. I’ve put together 2 family cookbooks, they are my favorite.

S ~ Style of house--What style is your house?
We have a ranch house on an acre lot out in the country.

T ~Tablecloths or Place mats?
I love table cloths; that is something else I collect. But I rarely use them and I rarely use place mats. I take my old vintage table cloths to our family reunion and put them on the picnic tables.

U ~ Under the kitchen sink--organized or toxic wasteland?
I guess you could say it is kind of organized.

V ~ Vacuum--How many times per week?
Well, I vacuum when it looks like it needs it. Gets vacuumed more since I got a small one at a yard sale. Not bulky and much easier to use. (I guess you can tell I hate housework)

W ~ Wash--How many loads of laundry do you do per week?
I lose count. I wash a lot!

X's--Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off?
I have before and it works. I get a lot more done when I do that.

Y ~ Yard--y/n? Who does what?
My youngest son cuts the grass with the riding mower. He sometimes trims with the push, but when he doesn’t, either my husband or I do that part. It’s good exercise.

ZZZ's ~ what is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
Clean off the kitchen table and make sure the door is locked.
