Brrrrrrrrr

It is Minnesota cold today!!  From my office window it looks like this...

  This is the first clear, haze free, smog free, fog free day in weeks!  But that sunshine comes with a price..

 It is 13 degrees right now, with a north wind making it -5 degrees!!!

Kennecott Mine with some fresh snow.  I can't complain about what I am forced to look at out my window every day!!!

Towel love

I like my towels to be handy, convienent and to function practically.  In the kitchen I like my towels to stay where I need them. Hence, I like to hang my towel on the oven door.  I used to buy towels with ties on them.  For some unknown (probably fashion) reason they are impossible to find anymore.  So I have hung on to my disgusting old ones because no matter what you may try, a towel neatly hung over the bar falls on the floor after someone uses it.

 These old and dingy towels are being sent to the old-towels-home in the garage, where they can get oil, grease, paint and garden grime on them because.....

My daughter-in-law, Natalie made me 6 of these wonderful NEW kitchen towels.  She claims she did not know I had a crazy wierd passion about my "hunt for the perfect oven towel" problem....

but I'm glad to have these and get rid of the old ones!!!
