All Talk, No Action

So, the fingernails are clipped short and with a lot of handwashing, they are pretty much back to their normal colour. One fingernail still has a blue trim to it but otherwise I am no longer one of Blue's Clues!

Since the distraction yesterday, I did get a chance to look at my spare room and try to figure out how to set up my office. That's about it too. I looked at my spare room and am still 'trying to figure out how to set up my office'. Some things never change!!

I realize that I need a bookcase of some sort as I have lots of books and files. I need them accessible to me in there. However, I have found that I do watch the tv while I am working sometimes so that would mean I would have to leave the room and go to the living room to watch it. Perhaps not being near the tv would speed up my work. I will have to try out that concept!!

I have a dresser in there which was mine when I was a little girl. Say, 8 years old. That means......well, over 50 years old anyway. I guess that makes it an antique. IT...not me! I love that dresser and really don't want to get rid of it. I know it serves no real purpose other than being a cute little girl's dresser but...I am nostalgic. It matches the old fasioned upright 5-drawer one which is there also. Perhaps I need to think of selling both of them as a set. I wonder if anyone would really want them? The one dresser has a large round mirror. Maybe I should take the mirror and throw out the dresser? See? That's where I am at. One question brings about another question and both have no answer.

Sitting at my dining room table, I am able to look at my dishes in the china cabinet. Many of those dishes belonged to my mom and her mom. They are old but beautiful. I love the pink, square pettipoint one and the hand painted casserole dish. It is orange and yellow with a lovely scene of a lake. Of course, there are also my many tea cups. Each one a different colour and flower.  I love flowers. I am not much of a gardener but I can definitely buy things with flowers on them! My grandson told me "You sure have lots of stuff, Gramma!"



Love this black/pink tea cup too!

Hand painted casserole dish, cup/saucer/candy dish!


Pretty in Pink!
 Alright, I guess I have not solved anything - only shared. Somehow I feel like I can now go back to moving things around some more and perhaps I will come up with some solutions.

Until next time ....
