yesterday I had a good time cleaning and organizing the upstairs hall bookshelves… I had hoped to spend time on the deck, but it was overcast and cool so instead I tackled the shelves… apparently the last time may have been in February of 2014…

it is quite a gift that I can wait until I feel like doing something to do it, lol…

and Tuesday morning I was ready to go…

found a box for the pass-me-overs and then started going through all the stuff on the shelves…

the box was mainly filled with books that seemed easy to let go…

items were rearranged and I even found a container of rocks and some small seashells…

happy with the outcome;-)…

now, I wonder how long I can keep it this way, hmmmm…

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…

proud…

rather proud of myself… I have barely done anything for ages, but today I was able to accomplish three things…

first, I went into the backyard and shovelled a path to the hot tub… my shoveler hasn’t been by… likely he is staying at home like everyone else;-)…

being very careful of my back, I worked slowly and made sure there wasn’t too much snow in each shovelful… now I can go out to soak my back if I want;-)…

came in, had a break, and then tidied the hallway bookshelf… I’d organized it back in 2014… made me laugh when I realized it was that long ago…

finally, I redid the living room table drawer… put sea shells in two of them and left the others as they were… one has all the retirement cards and the other has a number of pictures and maps from our trip to Hawaii…

looks good…

pleased with all that got done… maybe I will keep on getting things done;-)…

books…

between watching the Olympics and doing laundry, I spent some time cleaning off the bookshelves in the hallway…

it is always difficult to give away books… I had to look at each one and make a decision…  most of them had an inscription because I always write in a book when I give it to someone… a few had been given to George and it was a bit hard to give them up… but, I have decided to only keep ones that the little boys will want to read, or ones that I will read again…

hall book shelves...

hall bookshelves with lots of empty space…

today was a good day and I was able to let go of many… can see the shelves with some books on them and some of my treasures and this is helping with the divesting process…

nearly all my cookbooks went… really, these days you can find just about anything on the internet, if it isn’t already in my green binder (which holds all my family favourites )…  I also gave up some of the books I have had since I was a teenager… including some great poetry books…

was able to fill 3 boxes and started a box of other give-away knick-knacks… managed to get them downstairs even though they were a bit heavy…

still lots to sort through, but I am rather proud of how much I got done… hopefully tomorrow will also be a good day for divesting…
