Retirement is Good

I have so enjoyed being home all spring and summer. Well I have run around a lot you know out treasure hunting and out eating with friends a lot,couple trips to St Louis shopping.
I also check on a couple people who need extra assistance.

I have been trying to catch up on blogging today since it's a cloudy rainy day and I seen to set still longer on these days. Otherwise i'm up trying to still clean out drawers and toss things.
I took another car load to a donation center yesterday. You would think after about 5-6 trips my house would be empty, NOT I still have plenty.

 This lamp has needed a switch for over a year I know and I finally made it to West Lakes to get a switch and it took a young man an hour to put it on for me.I have it on my night stand and love it.



Anybody that knows me well knows I love blue and white china and I have put my blue and white made in Stafforshire England in my one kitchen cabinet that has an open front.




I move things around here and there when I find another dish that needs to get in this cabinet . I bought these Spode Spice jars years ago

 


Well I have a few errands to do so should get going. Thanks for stopping by today and always.


A new party I joined in

My Break is Almost Over

Well all summer I have been trying to clean my house of clutter and things I have stored away in case some one needs them? Well that stuff is all gone  however my house is still full of what I call my fun treasures.

All these jars are gone and I put my buttons in one huge jar with lid.




I bought 2 beautiful antique monogrammed sheets at an estate sale this summer and had them professionally washed and ironed ,that was an ordeal. Professional services are not as good as they use to be. I think people are running these services not knowing what they are doing, anyway my experience this summer. These are in excellent condition for late 1800



 A lot has happened this spring and summer and a very close friend passed away and it is hard not being able to talk with him as often as we talked. Richard Cottrell

This is just a quick post to let you know I'm still here and ready to get back into blogging again.
