A Made Bed

 Happiness is 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.

Happiness is waking up to a clean counter and no dirty dishes.

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.
