Do you have any "Door Dwellers"?
This, my friends, is my vintage 1985 model
GE side-by-side, ice thru the door
awesome refrigerator!
complete with magnets from the
last 28 years...
I can't bear to part with it; because
it's had one repair in 28 years
replaced the rubber around the doors
and
they are not makin 'em like this anymore folks!
Check out that retro brown and black
shelf design
I'm getting pretty personal to let you see my naked self shelf!
My husband says there's a place for everything
and everything in it's place.
Hence, my question
Do you have any Door Dwellers?
What items in your refrigerator hangs out
in your door shelves?
It may be the same things in your refrigerator
that's in our refrigerator shelves
can you guess it?
whatta you think?
frustrate you if you reach for them and they're not there?
uh, no!
not me
but my husband, YES!
You guessed it
CONDIMENTS!
They must be in the door
"Door Dwellers"
I hate it when a designated door dweller won't
fit in the shelf.
I either have to move the shelf
not happening
or
set them in the regular space in the refrigerator.
I'm thinking there should be a standard height
for condiment packaging
and they should be stamped
"DD APPROVED"
so we'd never have to wonder if they will play nice
and dwell in our doors!
What do you think?
Should I call the patent office?
Leave me a comment!
Re-arranging my self shelves,

5 Ways to Firm up your Foundation
Do you ever think about what your life is built on? The foundation of your existence? You are a building. Your foundation is either stable or unstable. The houses in the picture look very similar. They appear:
- majestic and large
- built from quality material
- purposed for a family
- built from a plan
- purposed for a lifetime
Just like the house on the right that has grown roots, you may feel a little damaged on the outside from harsh weather, but on the inside, the sun can still be shining! We all face something every day. Think about this: It's more difficult to stand firmly planted when the storm is raging against you than to fall over and get out of it's way. We have a friend in Jesus and his church. We are the church. The church is a community of believers helping each other. If you feel your foundation beginning to shake, try these:
- pray continually to Jesus (as much as you can during the day & night)
- reach out to a church member for support
- develop a mantra and believe it (God gave me this one: "The body is resilient") I recite in my head many times a day.
- attend church to get "built up in him"
- help someone else and you may forget about your worries for a while
Checking my roots,
Tammy

Why is my Kitchen Tile turning Black?
my mop is my enemy
the only reason it would sing
"Baby Come Back"
is because I haven't held it in my hands for over a month.
Do I look like this when I mop?
Uh....NO!
I don't look like this on Sunday
or any day of the week.
I don't relieve stress by mopping
MOPPING CAUSES STRESS!
Today, when I felt embarassed
to put off mopping any longer,
I was shocked by this...
Why is my kitchen tile turning black?
Can you see the discoloration of those two tiles?
Am I in a horror movie?
the black menace is creeping closer by the minute!
Long story short
The tile was installed this summer
Old fridge was moved out
then moved back.
Copper water line for ice maker
was SPEWING WATER
in tiny streams behind the fridge!
Wet the tile, the sub-floor and the crawlspace.
DE-JA-VU
(that's a little french word I picked up in Paris)
didn't this just happen in our laundry room
with a washing machine line?
Shew! Such a relief to know
our house is not haunted
and Steve and I can exorcise
this one.
Side note:
When this tile was first installed
I hated that it turned black
when water set on it.
(piece of ice out of the fridge or pet accident)
Now...
I'm happy it does,
So thankful!
avoided a potentially big MOLD problem.
Seeing a rainbow in black tiles,

Broken wings refines things

just more sore feet...
Never niche-less,
