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,
