It sounds like you're well on your way to establishing your routines. Good for you!

We're off school again, so I've decided on a "project day" today. I had moved all my knick-knacks, china, silver, crystal, etc. to the basement when we had the painter here...and I haven't put any of it back. Well, today's the day...only I'm going to wash/clean each piece before it goes back in the china cupboard or on the walls.

Not only will it take a good couple of hours....it will take at least twenty trips up-and-down the basement stairs (good for toning the rear-end!)

With my new yellow walls, there are a couple of decorative things that don't "go" anymore. I'm going to gather them up for a trash-and-treasure sale at church and then start looking for whatever will replace them. For certain I need new frames for the DDS' portraits, a new floral arrangement to go in the vase on the piano, and new candle shades on the dining room light fixture. None of that will get purchased today, though, because I'm not going out in this cold!

No big plans for dinner tonight: DH is gone and the DDS and I have fresh sliced ham and roast beef for sandwiches. I made a delicious crab soup last night...that's probably what I'll eat.

That's all from me for now.

Have a great day, friends!
Love to all,
Lenora
