Hello ....one and all...
Special day this day...one of my children
born this day....Special special day....
Did I tell you I'm a bit of a pack rat...
but for me it is not to bad...cuz I'm also a
neat nick...I have to have order...well my kind
of order...example...ya know those sturdy box's
we get like from Costco ( they put our food in) ....
well I have 3 or 4 that I have decoupaged with
wrapping paper...they then look pretty...and this
is where I keep my vast collection of "things"...all
my articles that I must save...pertaining to ...health...
decorating...gardening...recipes...world events..etc...
all and anything that grabs me in my really important
brain cell place...so over the years I have of course
purged myself of these yellowing papers, etc.... and when
I do that I feel alright...because I have not really even looked
at them in a very long while...so I can tell myself...it's okay
your collection is ever on going anyway....what I
have a hard time getting rid of is greeting cards...I'm
sure I have all that my mother ever gave me...starting as
a teen...a few from my father...and all from my kids...and
some from my siblings...why is it hard to throw those out...
someone out there know...well I suppose that is just part of
they being of such sentimental value and part of our past
that we like revisiting...and then thinking of those folks at
that moment...that is not bad...but ones collectables must be
kept in some kind of order...God help the O.C.D. people out
there...for they are needing help...and our understanding and
sympathy...I can't imagine living like that....
Well I must say Ciao for now...I'm off to a very nice party
celebrating a child...and I will surely smile and laugh some...
being in the presence of children for a few hours...blessed am
I for that....children God's gift to all......
See you my dear's in the funny papers........Louisa........
You say leave a painting....I shall do as you request.....
