Grey skies have rolled in with rumbling in the air. Looks like a SPRING rain is due. HUGE puffy grey clouds are building. The birds don't care. They seem to like singing and cooing all the more.
After a long week of moving boxes here, there, and everywhere, I finally broke away to return to the COTTAGE to work on the computer. Service isn't set up yet in the new location.
Making a dent in the DINING room boxes, you can see the wood floor with a path leading through the room to the Kitchen. Our Coffee maker is working. Fixing HOT beverages as we need them. This week to come I hope to begin going through the LIVING room boxes.
Have to stay on top of this as the time gets away from me and next thing I know the month is over.
Last Thursday I went to TOPEKA with my Mom for Medical test plus a visit with her endocrinologist. We went to the THRIFT SHOPPE, Target and JC PENNEY. I purchased a discounted SPRING housecoat with matching pajamas as well as a white night dress. At the Thrift Shoppe, extra bedding was bought.
In a few days, I'll make up our bed with clean Shabby-Chic white sheets along with the new thrift bedspread and shams favoring the room with taupe bedding. It will be a nice change from Winter greys. Autumn 2017 and Winter the greys will return to warm us. For now, it's SPRING Taupes and Whites.
We had ELLA with us. Ella is my Mom's 'lil companion fur baby. A cocker-poo with mostly curly black with a few swirls of white soft hair and wagging tail. Friendly face with happy black eyes. She travels so nice in the car you really don't know she's even there.
We returned to my ~HOME*SWEET*HOME~ and rested.
The last few days are a blur as we went shopping and worked on moving in. A blur. Busy.
Took time to watch CALL THE MIDWIFE, but Mom had trouble hearing. Their British accents caused her troubles with understanding their words. Then I stumbled across ANNE WITH AN E. This is the remake of Anne Of Green Gables. I am enjoying this story. I didn't think the original Anne of Green Gables could be improved upon....but I am so very wrong. It's quite good.
The very talkative and unloved Anne is growing up and finding a HOME in this story. SHE FINALLY HAS A PLACE TO CALL HOME WITH A FOREVER FAMILY.
WHEN A STORY IS BETTER THAN BEFORE IT IS SUCH A DELIGHTFUL TREAT. TREAT.TREAT.TREAT.
Back at RETIREMENT COTTAGE the HOME Washing machine is going. So glad I have a working washing machine and dryer to use.
This week I will return to the Commercial Laundry Mat to wash some more smokies as I don't want to use HOME machines for these. Last week, I had good success with the outcome using commercial washers. Smiles. It is awesome when there is absolutely no stink remaining to the items. Absolutely awesome. Some things have chocolate colored smoke stains, but when it's sentimental articles like baby blankets, then I can save the item with a reminder that this item survived the fire.
Hallelujah moment.
Back to boxing up things to relocate across the county line.
I keep learning much about Life even as a 61 year old woman. The Family dynamics of those around me educates me a little each day. You know how you had one idea of what a relative is like when you are a child and as time passes that person changes as well?
WELL it happened to me again. Wide awake I am. I'm not fast at seeing the light. Some parts of a person slows way down as one ages and then some parts speed the heck up. Thankful that the parts are on different agendas.
Thanks for dropping by.
Sweet BLESSINGS to you,
