Did you ever hear of a crockpot? I love cooking a roast in it...smells just like my grandmother used to make! Since I am a widow living alone I can do as I please but I do have "kids" down the street that drop in so I also do the fast sweep and dust routine and I have to put sweats on when I get up to take out my 2 15 yr old Silkie Terriers..neighbors around here are always watching. I buy fabric everywhere...always searching for more though I can never sew up all that is here. I am GUILTY!!!!
