My Wonderful Housekeeper!

Kuhn Nong consented to be my housekeeper when Brian asked her if she would consider it. She now cleans my condo from 2:30 – 5:30 on Fridays. We make ourselves scarce when she is working.

Today we ran some errands, then had a coffee in the shop near the condo building. I opened the door to these beautiful flowers she left for me! Aren’t they lovely?

I have never had a housekeeper before. In the states I had a couple of people give me estimates on cleaning our house. The lowest estimate was $100 for three hours, and the list of things they would not do was truly impressive. Needless to say, I never hired anyone.

Kuhn Nong leaves things spotless. I have never lived in a place so clean, mainly because we had our home filled with so much ‘stuff’ you couldn’t get to a shelf to clean it without it being a full-day’s work. I did the best I could. Leaving all the ‘stuff’ behind was hard, but one of the best things we ever did. It’s quite a come-down to find that some of your favorite things just don’t resonate with someone else.

I look forward now to having the sofa – the last large piece of furniture we bought – to be delivered on June 5th. I’ll take pics of everything to share at that point, though we’ll be looking for plants and art work to decorate.

In the meantime, I’m sure that I have never heard of a cleaning person doing such a nice thing. I’m still smiling! 😃
