When you would ask her "Irene, did you move the little sewing box that was beside the chair", or anything else, she had but one response, "I put avay." So that's what we called her: "I. Putavay."<br /><br />We had an old Grateful Dead bumpersticker on our fridge that said "Are You Kind?" for at least 15 years. I'm pretty sure then new owners removed it.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-11911254462141905672013-10-29T13:39:15.393-07:002013-10-29T13:39:15.393-07:00We just had a laugh about this the other day.

Horrors!<br /><br />I am a clean fridge person, myself, but as a fairly new empty nester, I understand why you miss those poems.

On the other hand, the kids are still so near by, they will fill your heart right back up.<br /><br />I was thinking, you should knit some scarves in the patterns of your sunsets:).

Mind you, when we moved into this house, I had to take everything off the fridge and magnets are banned on the new fridge - in my garage/office I have two huge cupboards with steel doors that do the same job :) <br /><br />But I get annoyed with my cleaners too, because they simply WILL NOT put things back exactly as they found them. I am possibly a little OCD about placement of stuff, but it drives me nuts having to rearrange the house when I get home every second Friday. Having said that, I LOVE getting home to a clean house ... Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.com
