Good morning everyone!
Frank, that is fabulous news about April and her parents coming to live with you!
Oldhermit, when was the last time you had your eyes checked?
I have spent hours going through back posts in this thread, from before I started posting in SYM, getting better acquainted with all of you, seeing your pictures of yourselves (that was fun) and generally finding out things I have been clueless about... I am up to four weeks ago and I still have not seen where I started posting... am I really that new here? It somehow does not feel like it...

Yes it is, we kept it a secret for the last 5 weeks. Her life will
get better, she can be a child again. I am looking forward to
the day she comes home. I have a lot of things to teach her,
riding the horses, the atvs, the tractors, most of all, to enjoy
life. It has already helped Jim & Marie, they look so much
more relieved.
The moving company is putting the furniture back in the
house this morning. This was my paw-paws house, this
was his furniture, it's over a 100 years old. It has a special
place in my heart.
QUOTEpsychomom;2248813]everyone ll, thank you. it's rainy and comparatively cool

The rain stopped here mid morning yesterday, sunny, and 94 today.
It's always a blessing to see that child. She is such a joy to be around.
When they put the plate in, she will be placed in advanced care for a few
days. If no problems come up, she goes back to housing . The Dr said, she
will be in the hospital for 3-4 more weeks.
Here's the shocker for everyone, her, Jim & Marie, are moving here to the farm.
We have the bunk house ready, new carpet, paint, cleaned top to bottom. Jim
started working for me about 4 weeks ago, he's a very hard worker. They needed
someone to give them a hand. God put us together at the right time, everything
has worked out. They will be living about a 1/4 of a mile from me, I'll get to see
April daily.[/QUOTE]
This made me cry.......you are a blessing.....Frank....proud to call
you my brother.........God surely knows what He is doing.....
i just love April news.......
It was go, go, go for 5 days we were actually glad to get home to more normal pace....but then tourists family is coming to dinner tomorrow night so I have been on a de-clutter rampage since our return so his family doesn't think I need to be on an episode of hoarders......lol Honestly I am really not that bad... but cleaning is not my passion....every thing else is.....
Funny story....at least to me.... I had told my daughter who is after me all the time to straighten up and fly right in the de-clutter area....that I had made progress in the dinning room with de-cluttering.....so we get together for dinner one night and she says about your de-clutter in the dinning room not enough.....I'm like what are you talking about there is a marked improvement.... she said have you looked at the floor? She said I thought you said you were done....I'm like where did you get that idea? I said I made a marked improvement I didn't say I was done... I mean I have cleaned off and dusted most of the stuff in there and took the ironing board down with all the stuff on top of it.... Then I stuck out my bottom lip and did the BIG Pout face.....to which my daughter started back peddling and said o.k. I did notice some change....at which I started laughing....
By the time she comes over Saturday she should notice a BIG Difference... oh, yes, there is still clutter but the good news is it is more organized.... as the dinning room is also where I like to sew so there are lots of sewing supplies much more organized than a week ago..... Oh well this fluffy Blond is trying.....tourist and I are the only ones that have to live with it....all others are just visiting and I am still the happy, fun one that most people like to be around..... I am sure some of them want to slap the happy off of me but that won't happen I laugh even when it is not funny.....what else is there? crying.....that's no fun....lol
This was a little break after three loads of wash/laundry is done only one load to dry and most of what I cleaned either goes back in the sitting area or rugs on the floor.....so before it gets nuclear hot outside I best go sweep the courtyard and pull a few weeds to make it look like I cared for a moment...... one of these days I might get my act together.... I warned tourist many times and gave him so many opportunities to run.....he didn't run.... he's stuck with me now.... not sure if he is lucky or not....... I do provide him with hours of entertainment.....
The peach pie is done....and I always forget to do something..... this time it was to cut the slits in the top to let it steam, breathe or whatever a pie does now I have peach juice all over the bottom of the oven and I have to clean that too since I am making pot roast and need to use the oven some more..... May as well have just shot myself in the foot.....this day will never end..... please pray I get all of this done.......with no more additional cleaning work....... yes, I am still laughing....

That is so wonderful that you are able to help them when they need a hand and under such circumstances as their beloved daughter has been under for however long, and that you will have such joy being a mentor to April, teaching her some of life's simpler pleasures at such a young age, something I am sure neither of you nor her parents will ever forget... haha yes, you did keep a very good secret, Frank
JesusLives (May I call you Darlene, as I am thinking that may be your name?) you sound like a very industrious person, and I can certainly relate to the clutter issues! Three years ago (or was it four
) I got rid of at least three quarters of everything I owned (or maybe I should say it owned me ) and the freeing up of the space was such a blessing in my apartment The above kitty no longer walks this world, after 16.5 faithful years...
Living room corner, showing what it was like before de-cluttering.
Here is the same corner, after shot
Big difference Huh? I need to declutter again
