THE DUST WILL WAIT

 Another month has rolled around and an opportunity to post a new photo for the First of the Month .   This photo meme is hosted by Jan @ Murrieta 365. The  goal is to capture one thing repeatedly on the first of each month.    It can be a landscape, a person, an animal, a project; whatever your  focus is, is fine.  It can even be a record of where you are each First  of the Month.  My theme is my three grandchildren, Zbub, Mizelle, and Dinkum.  It is called: Watch them grow! A couple of notes about this photo.  Dinkum decided he was going to be in a bad Moo'd.  That is a 3 1/2 year old's perogative, I guess.

My quest for a real ostrich feather duster was why I ventured there.  I had used my daughter Karmyn's feather duster (while helping her after her surgeries) and thought it made dusting less excruciating . There was something kind of French Maidy about it. Dusting is my least favorite chore, so I won't say I was excited about finding them on display.  I will say, however, that I was pleased there were several choices and they were in my price range.  I chose one and we set...

Mizelle always wants to help with the dishes.  Last night Grandpa grabbed the Canon Digital and caught her helping Grandma.  You might be distracted by the chaos in the background as her brothers noisily going on about their business of play. (The humming noise may be something going wrong with the camera.)
