As Promised.........

.........here is an update on what Poppa has been doing!

Yep!  You guessed it!  He took the vacuum cleaner apart and cleaned all the little components - then set them outside to dry.  After a couple of hours.....

......... he busily vacuumed the villa carpets to make sure it was working well - it was!  Then....

............ he washed the bucket that he had used!  Yes - he's a bit of a clean freak!  What else???

He paused for a few minutes to read his book, while I was working on supper.  You'd think he would just sit down for that!  

It was quite hot this day - as you can tell by the lack of a shirt - but he cleaned and replaced the furnace/air conditioner filter.

Squeegie stayed inside, out of the hot (gorgeous, wonderful) Florida sun, while Poppa.....

.......... vacuumed the pool.  It is spring here and all the trees were dropping little seed pods (or something) that kept landing in the pool - they're so small they come right through the screen - and there was a lot of pollen floating around too.  The pool guys come once a week, but there was so much stuff that they couldn't keep up with it.  Poppa did a great job (he's done it a few times now), and the pool is clear and inviting!  

This week he has gotten into his spring cleaning mode.  He started in the front bedroom - where you can catch a glimpse of the new beds and spreads and desk installed in this bedroom!  Very nice!  He wiped the dust off the window sill...........

....... all the door mouldings and trims.........

.......and even the chair provided for the desk.  Then...............

..... he got the ladder out to do the "high" stuff.  He worked his way from front to back.  In this picture he is in the living room.  This fan is a life saver on a hot day - it makes a lovely breeze while we watch Dr. Phil after we get out of the pool every day.  He went from there.....

........ to another - where is Squeegie??  Oh..........

........ can you see him???  Poppa moved on to another fan - the one in the lanai next to the pool.  It is quite high!  Did you spot Squeegie??

No?  Well here is a closer look!  He looked even cuter...........

.......... when I took a picture from inside!  Poppa moved the ladder, and Squeegie had to get down....

........ while Poppa cleaned all the windows adjacent to the pool.  Whew!  I'm tired just from running around taking pictures!  But, I have finally gotten my sock pictures organized......... so here is one more pic..........

............. these are Aunt Grumpy's socks.
