Phewer Phun Phashionist Photos

 
I'm sad.  In spite of all the fine features of our new Smart Phones, the one  I FORGOT to be sure to look for when purchasing was the time delay on the camera. Soooooooo, while I have a better camera, I have no way to take my "fashion" photos!

Oh well, fashionista that I am (not) -- it's probably not a big deal.

Here I am in my almost-uniform.  Except for the blue skirt, It's pretty well what I wear around the house most days.  The shoes are a little fancier, because I'm off to our Ladies' Home Connection - a Bible study and lunch with friends that meet every other week...

I'm wearing a black patent-leather belt (obscured by said Smart Phone) and a necklace of black jet beads.

(I'm holding my head high to minimize wrinkles on my neck--not because I'm snooty.)

Speaking of black, this is our Black and Decker Brew Station.

It may be on its last leg....but I did run a white vinegar solution through it this week

and it perked up a bit (no pun intended).

Above my Brew Station, on the inside of the cabinet door,

I have a sheet of directions for cleaning the coffee maker.

You can see I scribble dates (when I remember) that I cleaned it.

Actually, these directions are from several pots ago and go back YEARS.

I've also noted the dates that I replace the filters in our Brita water pitcher here.
My husband has placed reminders to check furnace filters
and the salt level in the water softener on the calendar on his phone...

How do YOU remind yourself of these maintenance chores?

(They really DO help prolong the life of household equipment!)
