Awww... Thanks! :o])

My mother’s face was unlined when she died at 71. Her eyes were the very dark brown of her heritage, and my eyes are the lightest in the family.

I never bothered much about sunscreen when I was younger, but when I got a tan, I looked every gene of my Native coloring. I don’t spend a lot of time in the sun these days. I mostly sit in the shade where it’s warm. Ha-ha!

For so many years, while I was sleeping on the floor, I accumulated a lot of bedding for padding. Now that I have a bed, I will have to invest in Space Bag storage bags to stack all that stuff in the linen closet. Some of the bedding I made, and am loathe to part with it, so storing it in bags that can be made flat is the best I can come up with.

One of the lamps I was given has something wrong with it, so I will need to get a lamp kit and rewire the lamp. I also need to get smaller shades. It looks as though the lamps were originally from a living room, and have really wide shades. I’ll keep looking until I can find some taller, slimmer ones that will fit the corners better.

Tomorrow, I will work on the closets until I get them squared away. I just haven’t felt like it...

Busy, busy!

My mother always got a very dark tan in the summer - people would think she was Indian or Mexican - until menopause. I remember her coming home from helping a friend with her craft booth at a show in Virginia Beach and saying, “Look at this - I got *sunburned*!”
