We are not unlike a particularly hardy crustacean....With each passage from one stage of human growth to the next we, too, must shed a protective structure. We are left exposed and vulnerable, but also yeasty and embryonic again, capable of stretching in ways we hadn't known before."—Gail Sheehy

Checking In; we have another showing today so I've been prepping for that most is done except for the floors. I like to wait until day light to do those or I would have done them last night. How's that for a good excuse? LOL! I'm working on a list for my journal [I like to have in the back of it to review it's handy when I need it.]

"Duties are not performed for duties' sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty—the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself." —Mark Twain

OMM Card: {On My Mind}
Next week Is spring break here and it will be busy in a diff. way I'm so glad the Open house and Realtor's tour are both over. Ddgs #1 & 2 will be here a couple of days during the day and dgd#3 for the day or over night on the weekend.

I need to get a small patch of leaves picked up we raked up the other day and missed but it's wet out and raining today.

Check Movies Card weekly; none this week that we can't live with out seeing. This one is automated in my outlook calendar. I have one that reminds me about a fav. TV show for dgd; and when a fav. crafting show is on I had to tweak that one as they moved it Knit and crochet now it's on Thurs. instead of Wed.

hello dear nancy!!!

I have to get back to homework, but the insides of my kitchen cabinets are clean and old cans tossed (not mine lol) ! yeah!

[Nancy]

Good luck with that home work Blessed.

Made some de-cluttering progress got some things in the trunk from cleaning cabinets some very large pans we no longer use went bye bye and a couple of thermoses stanely stainless ones H. has a newer one. We delivered those today and plastic bags to recycle went in to the recycling box. Glad to have that done and the bags are now in a habit and good to get to that before they accumulate around here.
