QUIET MORNING. Waking with an overcast grey sky this rainy day was made even more enjoyable when the second load of wood furniture that was refinished after the fire was delivered to our new house. Tomorrow I'll begin the fun task of emptying boxes that hold my collection of drinking glasses that Anchor Hocking made called BOOPIE GLASS, some wine glasses and whatever else is in the boxes waiting to be placed carefully in the China Cabinet that came back looking more beautiful than when my Mom gave it to me 10 years ago when she and Dad moved into their apartment after downsizing.
The bow front tiger oak China Cabinet is lovely. She's old. Not sure how old, just old. She looks wonderful for her age. Especially now that she got worked over. I had thought of putting dolls inside, but changed my mind to keeping this lovely piece in our new Dining room. The Corner Cabinet looks quite nice in the Dining room. I am so pleased at how nice these pieces look. I couldn't be more pleased at how nice all turned out. Now to continue emptying boxes and arranging the furniture to suit our needs.
It will be two months that we have been here at the end of July. It will surely take a complete three months to be settled and out of the boxes. If it takes longer, it will just take longer. I have my fingers crossed with high hopes that the Living room furniture will be in place by THANKSGIVING.
So much to do to get our HOME set back up and running. By then we will have been married 43 years. This adventure of getting back on our feet after a house fire has been like cramming 43 years into a few months. It's doable, but know it's a challenge.
A BIG CHALLENGE.
SO getting out of the boxes is an ongoing DRAMA that continues to take place. I limp along at the Theatre of our HOME. ACT II is surely to begin very soon. I rest a great deal as I sit and think about what is still needing done. Lots of thinking going on. LOTS. Things to do. If I think of this like I am playing house then maybe it will get done faster. Maybe, but I don't THINK so. I am ever so tired.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit. BLESSINGS.
WITH VISIONS IN MY HEAD of our HOME tidy and neat,

I look forward to seeing pics of your new home all put together. I'm sure it is difficult to start over, but for some reason, this is part of your story now. You are doing a great job and it will be behind you soon!
We are getting there. I think we are doing great for a crew of two. :)
