Oh great...Sister is visiting and brother whom lives 2 houses away's wife is out of town. That means they have defended on Mom and I since Thursday Night. They attacked our Kitchen to do what they called deep cleaning.

First there WAS a plate rack of collectible plates and bookend style figurines of chickens. Siblings thought they were a bunch of 50 cent garage sale items. Looked up a few on the internets and the cheapest was worth $20. The chicken figurines are $25 each and one platter that has been on Mom's plate rack longer than anyone can remember is an antique black forest carving worth $60. About $700 worth of plates and chickens. oSister wants to box em up and get rid of them since Mom doesn't remember where they came from any more and decorate the plate rack with something more fashionably in style.

They also want me to replace the range and vent hood AND redo the floors. In fact, brother came in this evening with a new microwave vent hood and installed it. He may have ordered a range too. Think they are planning to take me floor shopping.

Guess if I were married all this kind of stuff would have been redone years ago huh.

Mom is totally freaking out. She like the new ideas when they ask her about it, but doesn't remember a few minutes later and wants to know what they are doing.
