As the early morning sunlight streams through the window, I am enjoying the quiet. The heater is running with a soft humming sound to warm the room on this wintery morning where the outside temps are 15 degrees. Today, it's suppose to warm up to 40. If this happens, I'm going to go for a long drive and praise the LORD for this heat wave.
AS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD CHORES. The washing machine will be started soon as I continue working the laundry pile down. This seems to be taking so much time that I want to blink and have it all done.
After the Christmas boxes are removed from the Living room to go to the cellar later in the day, I shall vacuum the room. With the weather a tad bit warmer, the Victorian dresser will be removed from the house and placed in the SHE SHED. I hope this happens soon as the COTTAGE is starting to fill once again with things that are out of place.
Yesterday as we sat in the lobby waiting for Hubby's medical appointment one of the women sitting there looked so familiar. I asked her if her name was Karen and it was. She use to run a small gift shop in the area which I shopped. She remembered me and that 10 years ago I bought a silver plated Coffee/Tea Service from her. She remembered where I lived and that I have a daughter. Good memory. I wish we could have visited longer, but she was called and away she went. Perhaps I'll get to visit with her again sometime. I remember that she loved OPERA. 🎵🎶
This service set is in serious need of being polished as the exposure to air has caused a patina. I just sat it out about three days ago. The COTTAGE is beginning to look like a TEA LADY lives here. My metal sets are displayed in the Dining room and the porcelain teapots are above the Kitchen cabinets. Aren't we suppose to display our collections? I think so.
Until next time,
GOD BLESS.
