Books, Books Everywhere, and Not a Place to Sit!

Girl on BooksMy bookshelves downstairs are beginning to look like an overstuffed laundry basket.  I just can not bring myself to get rid of any books, especially those that have a memory attached to them.  My book collection ranges from THE CAT IN THE HAT, by Dr. Seuss, to HAMLET, by Shakespeare.

I have books that I have read to my children when they were young, books  they have read throughout their school years, and books that my rabid reader husband has collected over the years.  Books, books everywhere and not a place to sit!

Ready to Move!

105-83374Hello, and Happy Friday!

If you’ve been checking out my blogs every Friday, then you have a pretty good idea of what has been taking up the majority of my time lately: getting ready to move.

I have been painting, cleaning, scrubbing carpets, hanging mini blinds and putting up new curtains. I feel like a contractor! I have a separate set of clothes for “working”, and even a separate set of sneakers.
