So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Grout Busting

By William Borris

Once again, I am forced to do bathroom duty by circumstances. Don't get me wrong, I'm someone who wants the living area surrounding me and my family clean and safe. I just don't want to be the one doing cleaning. There are probably people out there whose job it is to deal with undesirable matters such as these. Me, I'm busy with my life to waste time with mundane things such as cleaning. Unfortunately, my reluctance at letting my wife do the cleaning instead of me, has led me step forward and do the job myself in the end.

Of course, I did not have the capacity to do the cleaning the bathroom (particularly the grout) properly; I didn't like cleaning the room as a child, much less clean not one, but two bathrooms as an adult. It was just male pride that drove me on, scrubbing and cleaning to the best of my ability. In the end, however, it was a losing battle; the grout in particular is impossible to completely clean.

So, as any fighter in defeat would do in my stead, I retreated and re-evaluated my strategy. And in the end, I decided to call for reinforcements. I consulted the commander-in-chief (the wife), after which I proceeded with calling the grout professionals.

The professional cleaners arrived after a day or so, armed with their equipment and machines. After discussing the cost and arriving at a price we agreed upon, the cleaners went straight to the bathroom and plugged in their machines. The noise of the equipment assured me that work was being done and soon after, they were done.

Amazing. The bathroom floor looks pretty brand new. Needless to say, I would never have had the time and capacity to have done that myself. The professionals noted that, as we had regularly cleaned up the grout, they didn't have to do anything drastic. I'm just happy elated I don't have to do it myself again.
