 Door Decor

I had a boat anchor on my classroom door forever. It fell off and broke, just before Christmas break. One of my students surprised me with this earlier this week because I "needed" something "beachy" on my door. It was so thoughtful.

MoJo volunteered to be my substitute Teacher's assistant today as it was an eLearning day. His productivity was low. However, he was supportive and stayed by myside all day.

Happiness is being wrapped up in a blanket on a cold winter day, even Toby agrees.

A Made Bed

Happiness is having a mom who took the time to teach me the importance of starting each day with a made bed. 

Happiness is also fresh clean sheets and a weighted blanket.

Look what my husband bought for me yesterday!!!! Being just under 5 foot tall makes some household chores a challenge. This is a perfect height. I can reach anything in my home now. I love the platform step on the top. I can complete tasks much safer now. 

Bob, thanks for caring for my safety. You are a keeper.

Grandma Beverly's Memory Book

 

Grandma Beverly's Memory Book

When I got married, my mom made this for my new family so that my new children would be able to get to know more about her. I rediscovered this book the other day while I was cleaning my house. I was looking through it today. l learn more about my mom each time I look through it.

Decluttering Begins

 Decluttering Begins

It is very freeing to give away things that really don't matter. Today I was able to donate 89 VHS videos, 25 cookbooks and other random items. I filled 4 boxes and a trash bag and that's just a beginning.

Open Library

 

Electronic Library

I love to read!  My mom used to take us, her 6 children, to the library frequently.  I looked forward to library day.  My siblings and I would check out so many books we could hardly carry them all.  My mom is still an avid reader.  Look at my reading stats to see how many books I have read since I discovered this elibrary.   I opened my account on April 27, 2020.
