Conquering the Stuff

I hate that I have not had the opportunity to post for a week or so, but it has been for a very good reason. With the remodel finished on our master closet and art studio, we have been putting our house back together! This has meant a lot of deep cleaning and sorting and laundering and organizing. We had a great weekend and felt that we were making some progress until we opened the door to our guest bedroom and realized that we had another room full of MORE stuff. Neither of us has any idea how we accumulated so much stuff or how we had it ALL stored in our house. Looking at it now, that does not seem logically possible!

We are giving ourselves two more weekends to conquer "the stuff." What we have not found permanent homes for by then is going in the yard sale or to Good Will. We can DO this. We CAN do this. We can do THIS!

Wish us luck! ;-)

Meeting the Easter Bunny

On Easter morn at early dawn

before the cocks were crowing

I met a bob-tail bunnykin

and asked where he was going.

"'Tis in the house and out the house

a-tipsy, tipsy-toeing,

Tis round the house

and 'bout the house a-lightly I am going."

"But what is that of every hue

you carry in your basket?"

"Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;

I wonder why you ask it.

"Tis chocolate eggs and bonbon eggs

and eggs of red and gray,

for every child in every house

on bonny Easter day.

He perked his ears

and winked his eye and twitched his little nose;

He shook his tail -- what tail he had --

and stood up on his toes.

I must be gone before the sun;

the east is growing gray;

Tis almost time for bells to chime."

--So he hippety-hopped away.
