I am not a good cook. I don't do well in the kitchen. The best thing I do in there is decorate. :-) And, clean it up, I can do that, too. But, it is a must for me to have my dishcloths and towels folded and folded again, and put in the drawer next to each other. They must be tight so that the stack stays in place. It's a beautiy. Like with like.<br />When I moved into this kitchen, Don said, "why are you taking a whole drawer just to put those towel in there so fancy?" "Because I finally have a drawer that I can put them in!" I told him. At our other house we only had 2 drawers, so my linens were stacked in a the corner of the big cabinet over the stove. UGH! They never stayed...always tipping over. <br />But, now...I have me a drawer just for the linens and I love it! Not sure why that was important to me. But it is.<br />As hard as it is to be stuck inside...I sorta of like the idea that I cn not leave. I can not go anywhere. I'm going to be cocooned in the house all day.<br />Of course...I only feel this way for a day...by the middle of the second day, I begin climbing the walls!!!!!:-)Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699862913139313405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-79156710705072232932011-02-04T11:54:46.236-05:002011-02-04T11:54:46.236-05:00The joy and peace you took from the store of clean...The joy and peace you took from the store of clean linens - that is not a silly memory! I know just what you mean. Sometimes I get refreshed when I look in the freezer and see the chicken stock I've made. <br /><br />I love reading how you readied for the ice storm. Luckily, we've gotten just a bit of ice here. Snow is fun, ice treacherous!Keethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10391755322320140235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-82024698185260890732011-02-03T21:41:04.222-05:002011-02-03T21:41:04.222-05:00Thank you ALL for the WARM wishes and the wishes f...Thank you ALL for the WARM wishes and the wishes for WARMTH!!<br /><br />Chris did a lot of Ice Chipping today---there were solid sheets impeding the paths to the driveways, and he and a hatchet stood between the mailman and certain slippage. And Chris did take a slide, but no injuries---I think he threw out his hands in one of those Karate Slaps, and that broke the vigor of the fall.<br /><br />And the Little House books are certainly of a cooking/eating theme, especially Farmer Boy---every page is a meal for ten, it seems, and I can't imagine HOW Mama Wilder EVER stacked up those hundred pancakes every morning, or got Sunday Dinner done on time, in that floaty hoopskirt with the immense sleeves.<br /><br />But the one I've been thinking of all week was the time they had someone grinding wheat in the coffee grinder, taking turns day and night, for that was all they had when THEY were snowed in.RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-72330722504785442672011-02-03T20:26:31.132-05:002011-02-03T20:26:31.132-05:00Well, my dearest said it all - and better than I e...Well, my dearest said it all - and better than I ever could! <br /><br />I do indeed wish we were there. We call those things 'Crab Meltaways' and it wouldn't be New Year's Eve without them! <br /><br />I'm re-reading the Little House books right now. Some folks on eG are reading them from a 'food' perspective and your description of y'all's cozy day sounds utterly different as to particulars, but so similar in feeling.Kim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06609086775319252934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-74863035410488686072011-02-03T20:18:09.450-05:002011-02-03T20:18:09.450-05:00This is definitely a Winter With Attitude.

When we lived in the midwest I ran on the local volunteer rescue squad, and there were so many folken who went out in the snow and overdid the scraping and the plowing and the shoveling. Bad backs were the least of the complications. Just please tell him to take it easy, he is too special a man to let weather tear him up. No, I think the day is better spent looking at old photos, watching cuddle movies, and sipping warm tea. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your day. It makes me wish we were there (just as I do every time I get to peek into your world.)steelersandstartrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945760858360791814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-21501652112008139272011-02-03T17:01:46.346-05:002011-02-03T17:01:46.346-05:00It's been years, but I remember those days of ...It's been years, but I remember those days of being TRAPPED inside with worry of what will we eat, drink and wear if we have no power for days and days. We lived in Nashville at the time and the kids were young and so excited to not have school. Nice memories...now that we survived them. LOL<br /><br />Stay warm sweet friend.
