Yeah, Corsaire…where are Hieronyma, Loving Life, Xant, and a lot more?  🙁

As is usual in high mountains, we’re losing snow quickly.  Powerful sunshine up here.  Then powerfully COLD when the sun sets.  Still snow in half of the parking/turn around area.

Whew…I canNOT get my energy back up.  Still waiting.  Glad for DH to keep things going.  Frantic activity necessary during/post MEGA storm is calming down.  Usual things like laundry are getting done again.  We’re eating soup/sandwich/pasta a lot tho.  Still keeping that simple.

Remember the idea for stacking cans in pantry so they rotate oldest forward?  Take a box and lay it down.  Make a hole in top – back of box to ‘load’ the cans…..the newest can is in the back of the box and rolls forward as cans are used from the hole in the front of the box.  Since I’m terribly space-deprived in this little house, I tried the idea of using Kleenex boxes for regular small soup cans.  CONCLUSIONS:  They are NOT sturdy enough.  Plus the box I had underneath for Progresso type soup cans….came apart and suddenly I had cans rolling all over and down over the edge of free-standing shelving units and ……  20 minutes later, with flashlite and odd body contortions in that tight corner, I was able to retrieve them all.  Some had fallen to the lower shelf where I keep vinegars, and other bottled liquid condiments.  As soup cans crashed, I would cringe but no glass shattered.  Tossed out the Kleenex box but will duct tape to reinforce the other box.  Still a good idea but….needs some work.
