Carpets, Couches, and the Kitchen Floor

With taxes figured and ready to file and our general house cleaning completed on Saturday, Karen and I spent this day of vacation continuing in the cleaning mode. After a slow start (it IS vacation after all) I rented and returned home with the infamous Rug Doctor carpet cleaning machine. Tucker, Tanner, and Hope all get rather excited when we start moving furniture around and so they were excited, we were excited, the Rug Doctor was excited and I spent the day cleaning our carpets and then our couches and cushions and our living room chair.

Here I am loading the Rug Doctor in our living room.

Karen worked on the kitchen floor and attacked the laundry.

Smile, Karen...

Between the two of us we managed to get everything completed and all the furniture rearranged just in time to have a nice dinner at home. Karen had organized a Crock Pot meal which we greatly enjoyed.

Then it was on to the second night of working on a puzzle we'd received for Christmas 2007 but hadn't had time to get to before now. We started on it last night. I'll post some puzzle pictures tomorrow.

We're very much enjoying this break in our routine.
