PRAISE THE LORD! I have made progress. It has been a very long process of going through boxes, polishing curio cabinets that will be used for dishes instead of curios, digging out the Blue Willow dishes, placing them just so-so in the cabinets, etc.
I think I am on round 5 of peeking into a box to see if there is any Blue Willow in there. The empty boxes and bubble wrap are piling up. I moved the walnut buffet from one side of the Dining room to the wall that it will stay up against. That was a great feeling to see it along the wall I want it to stay at. The curio cabinets are positioned where they will live.
I had hoped to have already cleared out all the boxes that were in the Dining room this past week-end, but didn't make it. Things are taking longer than I thought they would. Deep breath and carry on.
Today, I worked at going through more boxes. Missed out on doing laundry. Whah. Think I will do laundry later. I've been placing glass pieces and some crystal on top of the buffet and table. They sparkle. Wish I were done, but am making progress.
It's decision making time. Am I going to KEEP all the glassware or what? I'm 61 and I'm not sure if I NEED to KEEP so much glassware. The Blue Willow is in the cabinets and I've taken pictures for inventory. Soon a mirror will be hung above the buffet.
More paperwork to do and I think I am a tad bit cranky. Nerves...thyroid issues...not sure. My attitude needs an adjustment. I know what it is....birthday in a few days. 62 is near. 62. I started thinking of the tune in THE MUSIC MAN. Had the number of trombones off, but read that the movie was made in 1962. A great year. 62!
As I watched this trailer, it made me SMILE.
Now I'll have to watch the movie.
BLESSINGS to you this HOT 'OLE DAY,

My nerves are 'off' this week too. We'll hang in there together! Glad you made progress with your blue willow.
Hi Deanna,
So happy to hear that you are getting through all the boxes and it is a big task sorting out everything.
Our lounge looks more like a storage shed as it is full up with boxes galore.
Oh well one day hopefully everything will be how we want it. Yes, hang in there and good luck with the rest of the sorting.
I remember singing Seventy-six Trombones back in the primary school choir. happy days!
Enjoy the weekend
hugs
Carolyn
Fun movie.... will have to see if the library has it available. :) You have done a tremendous amount of work. Now I have to figure out where to go with all of the boxes and bubble wrap. Yikes.
