PLUS---- We can see the living room as some furniture was removed from there----------Holy Cow eh?
-as yu can see below--
Son#2 , the Pilot, is in Brazil---and sent pictures of food of course-
Below is Ali tuna and smoked salmon-
His flight path south, to Sao Paulo, Brazil, followed the path of Hurricane Lee, which was heading north--if you follow the line , you can see how close they were to the reddish/yellow blob , (Hurricane Lee)--which he said made for a rough bumpy ride at times--He returns back to Toronto to-night and is hoping that Hurricane Lee will be more north east of his flight-
Did you realize that "YOU" are all the above?---kind.......smart......gorgeous....simply amazing.....worth it...and I know that we all are STRONG___because we must be--- to deal with everything that we have to accomplish everyday-- YOU ARE PERFECT!
I can hear Himself vacuuming the living room--- I must get the 2 dogs out --for the 3rd time this morning-This afternoon I must drop a trunk full of table clothes, linen place matts--plus lotza stuff I haven't seen for 50 yrs which was all packed away in drawers-- Lord love a Duck! Does anyone even use this stuff anymore?
Wow! What a perfect day! Doesn’t it feel great to get rid of stuff? You are an inspiration! I need to start digging and get rid of some stuff!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
Well--- It certainly isn't fun to get rid of stuff--but--YU know what?--- WE have more room--- It does look better--LOL--Lynda
DeleteIt feels so good to declutter and downsize . . . we did that when we moved from our big farmhouse to this smaller ranch style house. . . 5 years ago next month. Even if you are moving anytime soon . . .eventually you will so doing it a bit at a time now is a good thing. We are finally getting a sunny day here in NH . . .we have had so much rain this summer that I am tired of rain. Lots to do today . . .trying to get the produce put up from the garden and that is time consuming.
ReplyDeletesunny but cool here to-day-Himself is very hostile this AM--- he has to go to DAY CARE to-morrow-- LOL--- Yes--I can de clutter over the winter--horrible job tho-Lynda
DeleteYou are such an inspiration in terms of decluttering and releasing furniture, clothes, and "stuff" that you no longer use/wear/love. And I would consider it a blessing that your sons are on board with the project and finding people who will make it easier for you. I'm hoping to make some progress in that area over the winter. And may I just say that even though you are dealing so much with Himself's unpredictable cognitive lapses, I love that the dear man hasn't forgotten how to vacuum! And THAT is a very good thing.
ReplyDeleteLOL---- but--Hv uses the Dyson--no cord vacuum--but any help is OK help--=plus I go over it the next day-- sometimes--- The furniture the junk man took away was all stuff we never sit on or use--'cept my Mom's Gate Leg Table--with the pieces that fit into it--It has so many memories--- but--I included it-- hard eh?--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Doesn't it feel so good to have things you no longer need given to someone who can really use them! We need to do that. My husband is a bit of a pack rat and after my mom passed away I inherited a lot of her things. Since it's all just been in the basement for years, I think it's time to get rid of it! Up till now I just haven't felt like doing it but my body is finally starting to feel like mine again! Love the photos of the food in Sau Paulo and wow, yes your son was very close to the hurricane. He must be one very good pilot! Have a good day and enjoy the cooler weather. It's nice here too - Daisy and I are going out for our walk shortly.
ReplyDeleteKathy--- The rooms look better --I have to admit-- I think both Himself and I are pack rats--LOL-and so hard to just give away---- a lot of stuff was in the basement for yrs and we never looked at it-or used it---so--out it goes--- Son #2 IS a good Pilot--He flies back all night--to-nite-I hope that Hurricane is farther north--or him more west of it--said there was a lot of "chop"-Pilot tall--LOL----- himself is groucvhy today-- guess he should get out of here to-morrow and go to Day Care-Lynda
DeleteLynda, with help you are great at 'decluttering.' (I think that's the phrase in use now.) I do it periodically around here, too. Then I end up buying more stuff and have to declutter even more!
ReplyDeleteThe food looks great. I love smoked salmon!
In a few minutes I am taking my friend on an errand. That's after I have already taken another friend on an errand and had her come back and ask for a ride to the Dollar Store (where things are $1.25)
I really thought today would be a day to relax and maybe get something done around here. Like check out my winter wardrobe like you did. I have gained about 8 # since last winter. The doctor likes that, though, and so does my daughter and doctor son.
When I get back from Joanne's errand, I think I will nap with Lucky. He is the softness and calmness in my life. With meditation, of course.
See, honey, we vent on each other.
Love your memes. {{{HUGS}}}
Yu are so funny--- YU declutter--then buy more stuff!----We have Dollarama here as our dollar store and I love it--buy all sorts of stuff that I never even knew I needed--LOL--- Yes--I am in midst of moving winter wear up and summer wear down--horrible job--A nap is so good for yu-- I lay down everyday --but I read on the sofa-- and Lopez lays on my chest--LOL--I enjoy chatting away to yu--Your life and all the wee drives yu take yer friends on--always make me chuckle--Yu are so good to yer friends-- hugs-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! You have been working so hard as always but your rooms look so nice! Less to clean under and around. I love brazilian steakhouses. Your son’s food looks so delicious! Hope he has a great trip back. Less bumpy. I started out walking both dogs but I didn’t get too far. Kloi was pulling my arm off and Tommy learning to walk on a leash was all twisted. I went back home and took them out one at a time. I may skip the dreadmill today after all that. Lol So nice here in Ohio. It’s 67 degrees with sun. I remember you talking about Skip. Funny! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteYes--Poor "Skip the Drip"--eh?--- Dad usually had such funny names for all the boyfriends--- Yu know, I cannot walk Beau--but he comes with me when I cut grass and I throw balls in our yard for him--I do walk LOpez--It was a lovely day here to-day also--Lynda
DeleteYour rooms look so bright and inviting. it is hard to part with things but you feel so good after it is done and you see the results. Keep up the good work. As always Son # 2"s meals look very appetizing. He really knows how to choose restaurants. I hope Himself goes to Day Care tomorrow and comes out in a happy mood. Take care and enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteThe rooms so seem so cluttered --with just that little bit gone---Himself hopefully will go to Daycare to-morrow AM--He isn't very normal this evening--Whatta terrible disease eh??-Lynda
DeleteGlad you're getting rid of some stuff. Now you will probably feel like doing more. Something to do over the winter - when you have someone else clearing the snow! Hope son #2 can steer clear of the hurricane coming back otherwise it will be a very bumpy ride. Safe travels to him. Have a good night tonight. Brenda
ReplyDeletenice evening here Brenda-- plus a Lady came out and picked up the toy chest plus all those table clothes etc -- Himself acting kinda weird this evening-- Lynda
DeleteLoved the inserts today...all if them.
ReplyDeleteI remember mention of Skip the Drip lol. You ended up with Fred the med...who's sounding grouchy. Sorry. I hope that attitude/mood passes. I do like that he vacuums YAY.
I KNOW you have mixed feelings about parting with stuff but gosh your rooms look bigger and easier to navigate. Things you aren't using and not likely to use...outta there..
Glad Skip could come get it so you can't change your mind.
Hope pilot son has a smoother trip back home. It can't be easy flying in a hurricane. Food looks great.
Hoping Sr.Center is a GO tomorrow.
Have a great day.
Hugs
Yes--Fred the med--LOL---He was not very good when I came in from cutting the front grass-Hopefully I can get him to go to the Lodge to-morrow morning-Yes, the rooms seem more spacious with all that extra furniture gone--Son#2 the Pilot os ion the air now--a 10 hr flight back to Montreal-then on to Toronto--Lynda
DeleteHope you got to cut the front lawn. We are enjoying a bit cooler weather here, too.
ReplyDeleteSo great that Sone #3 found Skip to take your furniture. Yes, it sounds like your Dad didn’t care your boyfriend Skip, the Drip. LOL Oh well.
OH my, the food DS #2 sent pictures of looks SOOOO good.
As for the table linens, no, don’t think many people use them anymore. Sad, because it looks so pretty! I have 2 tablecloths and napkins I use. Nothing fancy.
Well, trying to maintain a beautiful mindset!
Hugs

Barb I did cut just the front lawn-- will do the septic bed tomorrow-- but-Himself was just awful when I came in--Yu know--he is getting worse-Lynda
DeleteGood Evening Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI know it was hard to get rid of furniture that was a part of your child hood and your parents things. I have that also. One is Hubbys mom's chair that I had redone and my grandmothers chair that I had redone.
You do inspire me tho to get rid of clothes and jackets that we don't wear anymore. I must do that. Too bad none of your children didn't want any of the furniture.
It was 45 degrees here this morning but warmed up to 70. This coming week will be around 80 degrees.
Glad himself is helping w/ vacuuming, and your room looks great!
Hugs Bev
It is a ton of work and worry when I get rid of something-- Why I don't know--but--- Yu know what?--The house does look a lot more spacious with justa few things gone-- Himself was very awful this afternoon---I left him inside and cut the front lawn-- He was not good when I came in-- kinda a worry--Lynda
