mona and furniture

 

my sweet mona.  the Lord is using her to teach me something.  i'm still not sure whether it is patience, temper control or something else.  but let it be known...i apparently haven't quite grasped it yet.

 

my counter, full of vegetables and fruit, makes me happy.  i utilized bountiful baskets for the first time today and i for see a long relationship between myself and this food co-op.  if you are in the utah/idaho area, you should try it!

papa finally [and in my opinion, sadly] sold his home in pennsylvania.  we knew it was coming, but it is still hard to convince myself i will never go back there, breathe in the air of the surroundings and soak in the comfort of gem-le-ar.  in preparation of receiving some furniture and dishes in the next month i am clearing out and reorganizing a few things.  

goodbye to the old gross, spaghetti stained tupperware (i bought new stuff, yay!).  adios to the green and orange dishes - i can't wait for the new to me everyday wear and retro green iced tea glasses!

we are getting to twin beds, bed frames, dresser and a side table that papa used when he was a boy.  i am so grateful to be able to keep these in the family and have them in my home.  to make room for the set we decided to take this old dresser and make it into a bench/storage area.  this would look really good if we had a large entry area, but for now it will make do in the living room.
