Oma Sue's Blog

Hi – I’m Sue Reyzlik. I recently realized my life-long dream of building a writing hut in the backyard. The writing hut serves as a creative space and home office for Oma Publishing. This blog will be intermingled with family history, varied experiences and insights on being a Grandma (Oma), creating my special backyard space, as well as, my “retirement” career as a self-publisher of children’s stories. And perhaps a little bit on the 32 years I served as Executive Director for Keep Fremont Beautiful and the wonderful people who are sharing this adventure.

​Spring Cleaning…

            Little kids are weird.  Years ago, my son was going around the house shining a flash light on various items and examining those items in great detail.  He was maybe three or four at the time and will be celebrating his 38thbirthday later this month.  Funny how some things stay with you for years.  
       Anyway - eventually he wandered into the kitchen and purposely spot lighted a very specific portion of the front door of the refrigerator.    I was busy making dinner but he remained fixated on examining that part of the refrigerator door.  After what seemed like a long time but had probably only been half a minute, I asked him what he was looking at.  
       He kept the light in place and pointed to a peculiar shaped, darkened blob that was stuck just below his eye level.  This would have been at a level below my waist and I hadn’t noticed it before. I came over and looked at the blob as he continued to shine the light.  I remember being perplexed and as I frowned, I asked him what he thought it was. 
       He nonchalantly replied “a booger” and turned off the flashlight.   I immediately responded with “a booger – why do you think it’s a booger”?  He looks up at me like I’m an idiot and says “because I put it there”.   When?  “A long time ago”.  That was really weird…
       I was reminded of that booger on the refrigerator, as I was cleaning up today, after having my granddaughter Rai with me for a few days.   You know those little stickers that are on apples and oranges - the stickers that tell the cashier the type and price of produce?   I found five of those.  One on the wall at the top of the stairs, one on the arm of the couch, one on the sink and two on the kitchen floor.  I’m irritated, but strangely grateful - glad they aren’t boogers.  
       My oldest daughter Sara always comes and helps me with the “deep” spring cleaning.  The furniture will be moved, the walls will be washed, the cobwebs brought down and the closets will be purged.  Can’t wait to see what weird little discarded treasures await discovery in this year’s spring time archeological dig…

Thanks for sharing Sue! I hope everyone holds strong during the cleanup efforts. I’m sure going to try to get down there to see what I can do to help.
