Speaking of kitchen counters, we have a new toy ...
One of Hubby's business contacts sent us a Keurig and it is so cool. I have been buying up K-Cups all over town in different flavors -- hazelnut, mocha, vanilla biscotti, Italian roast. There are a million of 'em. So far the best selection has been at Bed, Bath & Beyond. We received some sample packs with the coffee maker and one included tea; specifically, Celestial Seasonings Mandarin Orange Spice. Yum!
Another fun happening in the kitchen ...
I've been juicing grapefruit like mad. Our tree has produced a beautiful bunch of Ruby Red's and in addition to eating them like oranges with a sprinkling of sugar, I'm putting gallon bags of juice in the freezer.
Hubby got in on the action and started mixing up Greyhounds, which are simply grapefruit juice and vodka ...
Pretty tasty. Unfortunately, after a couple of these, I kind of lose my cleaning and organizing mojo. *sigh* It's not quite as elegant as sipping mint juleps on the veranda, but to quote that spunky Scarlett O'Hara ... Tomorrow is another day.

Holy grapefruit Batman! They all look so yummy. If I'm ever in AZ this time of year, I'm dropping by for a greyhound.
John swears that I only invite people over to make us get the house straightened up. Hey, it works!
Enjoy your company!
You sound like someone that's mighty fun to visit!! Enjoy your time with them!
One thing about our daughter & SIL living here is that we can't have company, no available rooms! Also she cleans my house. Win, win!
I want one of those toys in my house. Enjoy you coffe and your company!
Enjoy your company and your grapefruits!
Yummy grapefruits!!! And yummy greyhound ;-). I know exactly what you mean as far as the motivating power of impending company--my MIL is coming in May, and I'm already dreading the cleaning spree that will have to happen before then lol. Best of luck with your cleaning!
You will be forever spoiled by that Keurig now. We get our K-cups at Bed, Bath, and Beyond as well. With the coupons they mail, it really helps with the price too.
Isn't the Kuerig the GREATEST!! I got my hubby one for Christmas and WE LOVE IT!! BB&Beyond is def the best variety plus you can go online and order from keurig too.
