Jibber Jabber and Call It Good

~HELLO IN BLOGLAND~

CHEERING MYSELF ON...the laundry is just about caught up.  You go girl.  I am my own cheerleader.   I have visions of it all done and moving right along to my next project: YARD WORK before the month of May is here.  

Stay focused.

1) laundry caught up.
2) yard work finished to welcome May.
3) rummage sale items located to Dining room.
4) cellar items located to various places in house or rummage pile.
5) curtains hung in bump out.
6) curtains hung in family room.
7) continue to tidy and get uncluttered.
8) it's ongoing.

It doesn't take much to make me huff and puff.  Going up and down the stairs has its benefits. 

Our little cellar is full of this and that.  Slowly we are bringing items up to deal with.  Found two beautiful Japanese decorative porcelain dishes still in their cardboard boxes.  Not sure I can let these go.

Imperial Jingdezhen Porcelain Decorative Dishes.

1991 'Fly-In Peak' and 1990 'Laurel Peak' 

We went through a laundry basket full of items already marked for a rummage sale.  Will lower the prices and try again. Three plastic bags full of good 'ole fingernail polish ready to beautify the finger tips of someone.  A very nice silver candle holder.  Shoes.  A lovely crystal kleenex cover, umbrella, fake fruit and odds 'n ins.  More. to. go.

IT'S GETTING EASIER AND EASIER TO BE UNCLUTTERED.

YES IT IS.  YES IT IS.  YES IT IS.  YES IT IS.  YES IT IS.  YES IT IS.

Today on this sun shinny day I sat in the Parlour sipping coffee while letting fresh air blow into the room as a window was open.  

I decorate in my head when looking around.  

Got to do this and do that.

Cheapest entertainment I know of.

Mental decorating.

After picking Lil Miss up from school yesterday, 

we drove around to look at the out of doors admiring SPRING TIME in small town America.

SO PRETTY.

OLD PICTURE OF US AS HOBOS

LAST WEEK I went to see my Sister that lives in Iowa.  I cannot believe I did not take one photo.  Headed out on Saint Patrick's Day and returned to Kansas on the first day of SPRING. Very nice time.
  

Donna Reed lived in Denison, Iowa.  Remember Mrs. Stone?  

DO you suppose Donna ever did laundry?  

Surely.

SIS and I went to RAGS 2 RICHES thrift shop in Carroll, Iowa.  LOVE going to this place.  Nice vintage items plus new.  I purchased a LONGABERGER magazine basket with cloth liner and plastic protector for $28.  Hurrah. I scored.

We ate well, drove around Yellow Smoke Park to see deers grazing in the fields and geese running to get into the water before Lil Miss could reach them.  Nature.  It was snowing large flakes pleasantly in Iowa.

Was glad to see my Sis and glad to return safely HOME.  
I took Lil Miss with me as she was on SPRING BREAK. 

While gone, husband worked on ze kitchen.  Inching right along.  Making headway.  He moved a light switch, repaired the wall and added crown molding above some of the cabinets by the kitchen sink.  Added lighting under the cabinet and above the sink.  Makes the tile back splash look stunning.  Taking a deep breath.  Soon the cabinets will have doors on them.  A new ceiling will appear.  When completed...will be a huge relief.  Let it happen.    

SWEET SPRING  is here.

The LAUNDRY waits for me.
Between the DUST and laundry I can count on them to always be there 
waiting for me with no back talk.
 Loving my HOME.

Hope you have a good day!
