I had big plans for today: clean the house from top to bottom. Granted, this house is three floors including the finished basement totaling about 3,000 square feet. There’s no way #1 I’d get it done in one day or #2 do it all by myself. Doug has offered to get help in for me, but did you ever see the I Love Lucy episode where she is having a professional maid come to help her? She wears herself out cleaning the house and getting it ready for her professional helper! That would be me. I think I’ll move our “top to bottom cleaning goal’ to tomorrow!
In the meantime, I just took an Autumn Apple Crisp out of the oven. It smells delicious! My daughter has an apple orchard with about 60 apple trees on their six acres. We still have a small bucket of apples Doug picked before the freeze recently. I’ve been working on using them lately. We’ve made jars of apple butter and today an apple crisp. Can’t let them go to waste!

Here in Kentucky we have access to apples shipped from NC or PA–none quite the equal of those we picked fresh when living in New England. Apple Crisp warmed for breakfast and served with a bit of cream is a favorite.

Hi, Sharon! Apple Crisp with cream sounds good! I need to get some cream.

Let us know when you’re starting out from Texas and I’ll have brand new batch made for y’all!

It’s great knowing someone who can reference an “I Love Lucy” episode and connect it to real life! 😀

I loved I Love Lucy! I don’t get today’s sitcoms but I totally understood Lucy! 😉
