on Thursday I wandered around the house and took down all of the hearts, including the ones on the front door… they made their way back upstairs…
it always feels a bit naked when there is nothing hanging on the door…
I also took down the L O V E letters and put them back into their spot on the upstairs hallway bookshelf…
on to March, the birthday month, lol…

big girl pants, blessed, books, bookshelf, Christmas, cold, encourage, friend, moments, reading, share, stairs, widow
I haven’t been doing much reading lately… I was not enjoying the book I was working on and it really slowed down my desire to read…
also, it was cold in the living room in December, so that kept me from reading a bit also…
for Christmas I got a biography and it has been slow going, lol… a good friend brings me books all the time and there is quite a stack…
I decided to put all the books I have to read up the stairs… they had been looking kind of empty since the Advent boxes were emptied;-)…
a new version of a bookshelf;-)…
I think this is going to encourage me to get back into the reading habit…

big girl pants, books, bookshelf, Christmas, cupboard, dishes, give away, place, plates, tidy, widow
on Christmas Eve day I bought some new plates I’d been eyeing for a while…
last night we used them for Christmas dinner…
today I had to find a place to put them… had a good time going through one of the kitchen cupboards and making space… was able to let a number of things go which always makes me happy…
later in the day I spent some time searching for something on the hallway bookshelf… and in the process was able to set aside a number of children’s books… again, way to go me…
dishes have been put away, give aways packed up, and books ready to be picked up by a young friend…

Bette Midler, bookshelf, IKEA, looking good, miss George, Oscars
yesterday went to IKEA with Crystal and her friend Sabrina… although it was cold outside, the place was packed… I like to go but always have tired feet by the time we get out…
picked up some boxes to use on the bookshelf in the hallway… and some picture frames, but I haven’t got to that project just yet…
today I put most of the boxes together and filled some with various bits and pieces that had been on the shelves… there were a lot of photo albums and individual pictures…
the last two were put together tonight by my grandson…
in between watching the Oscars I continued working…
and am nearly done… just have the bits on the floor to deal with… plus a few books which were moved into the computer room during the repair and painting…
it is starting to look good… much more spacious, tidy and has treasures in and amongst the books… very happy with the progress…
there must be 6 or 8 boxes packed up and ready to go to their new homes…
had just got back into the bedroom when Bette Midler sang You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings… made me think of George and how he supported me in everything I ever did…
I miss him…
