Category: Around the House
I decided to start at the back of the house, in the guest room. The closet in there has been the repository for my "out of season" clothing. Much of my out of season clothing includes a number of items that are not in my current size. Being a bit of a yo yo dieter, […]
Books. I am all about books. Since I was a tiny tot, I have loved books. Over my lifetime, I have collected a tremendous number of books–I have kept many, but have donated much of my collection. I believe in sharing. Besides, there is a limit to how many books a person can store in […]
The packing has begun. On Saturday, I emptied my big dresser in my bedroom and packed one box. The good thing is, those two big black garbage bags are things that I am getting rid of. This move involves a significant downsize for us, so getting rid of things I don't use or need anymore […]
Three of my sisters and my niece Camille are coming to see me tomorrow. What a lovely diversion this will be for me. I just want to sit in the comfort of my loved ones and chatter about nothing important. Too many big decisions going on at my house right now. My husband has spent […]
RAIN! It sure would be nice to be able to actually use this gas grill. I am telling you, Friends, it is wet where I live. Well, at least the grass is green. If it ever stops raining, I will replant those clay pots with summer annuals. Good sewing weather though. And I have some […]
I don't have a lot to show for my weekend, unfortunately. We put our house back on the market and had agents wanting to bring their clients through. This of course, is a good thing, but I wasn't quite ready for them. I had about two and a half hours to put the house to rights before […]
Would you like to take a walk with Ozzie and I, through the neighborhood? Come on, it's a great day, let's go. This is Ozzie in his new lead. Ozzie is a bad walker. He likes to pull and tug and choke himself half to death when he is on a normal collar style leash. […]
I do not even know where to start, Monday was such a big day! I had the day off and drove up to Sunnyvale, where I used to meet regularly with a group of lovely women for a sewing get together we called the UFO (Unfinished Objects). I really need to do that more often. […]
No sewing going on even though I did have a day off. I spent it having beauty treatments. Very Essential Beauty Treatments. I told my husband that I had gone to Monterey to visit my hair dresser to have my hair colored. "But it doesn't look any different", he said when I came home. Well, my dear, […]
I don't know about you, but for me, the week between Christmas and New Years is kind of lazy. I've been sitting around reading on my new Kindle a good deal of the time, trying to ignore Ozzie sitting on my head. Gosh, am I having fun with that device! There are so many books […]
