Chef Extraordinaire
I am taking a break from working on my needlework. Instead of Easy Listening I have Golden Oldies on.
As I was sitting there I got to thinking about a broom. I have one that I hate. It is slanted and some of the bristles are bent out to mid air. I want to get a corn broom. But they are soooo expensive. But I just may make it another birthday present for me. This broom was given to me. I have always had a corn broom. And so did my mother. You would think I would be happy with the one I have. I have a very small kitchen. It takes all of ten seconds to sweep it. And an even smaller bathroom. That never needs sweeping. In New England it was always considered bad luck if you didn't move into a new home with a new broom. Some families also started each new year with a new broom. My mother had an inside broom for the house and an outside one for the front steps and sidewalk. When the inside one got worn down, then it became the outside one. That outside broom got worn down to the nubs. No waste there. So it is decided, I will get me a new broom for my birthday.
