my sofa had a blanket on it for most of the winter…
when the weather changed, I used the back of the handmade quilt produced by my friends on it…
the reason for the covering involves two pillows I have put on the sofa so that it isn’t so deep…
now I’ve used two pillowcases and pinned them to the back cushions…
think I like it…

accomplished three things today…
changed the bed and put on the new comforter that I picked up a few weeks ago… a bit of a process as I had to turn the mattress around on my own…
also climbed under the bed hunting for a couple of the dragonflies which had flown off the Love sign over the bed, lol…
looks pretty good… although I’ve already removed some of the pillows…
then I spent time putting out all the cushions in the garden… it was hot out…
finally I took pictures of the morning glories… this is the first time I’ve had them in so many places and it is fun to hunt throughout the garden to see which ones are blooming…
they continue to make me happy every time I look at them…
great way to start my vacation;-)…

in the shower the other day, I picked up a different shampoo than the one I usually use, because I wanted to smell the scent that the house radiated after George had a shower… when he got out of the shower the house would always smell of berries…
apparently it wasn’t the shampoo he used, but one that the girls have bought to use when they are over, so it didn’t smell at all right, lol…
when he died I gave his clothes away as I didn’t need them as a reminder of him… it was very hard on Crystal… she took home his sweats and a sweatshirt and that helped her hold him close… for me, it has been the memories, although not so the other day, lol…
whenever I smell roses, I always think of George… he always got me roses, for whatever the occasion was, or for no occasion at all…
one of the roses from the bouquet the kids sent this year on our anniversary…
a young friend made pillows for each of the kids from his sweaters, and she wrapped them all individually before she made them, and after as well, to be sure they still smelled of him…
pillows for the kids from George’s sweaters…
she had a difficult time when she was sewing as she came across a sweater that George had worn for a visit to her house…
everyone appreciated the pillows and they were a lovely remembrance of George… when he wasn’t running around without a shirt, he would likely be in one of his sweaters…
what lovely memories I have…
