DH made those steps in our carpentry class a few years ago. It's funny because we put the steps by the bed for Oggie, who had arthritis, but Raymond learned from him to use the steps and Louie...

Nope - I had missed the cat; it must have been inspecting your work!

Catherine: I loved that book so much. Did you ever read Blessings by Anna Quindlen? That has a similar feel about it.

My April reads:
Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez - this was a good...

Very nice. What will you use it for?

The only thing that comes to mind is my beloved blue and white Portuguese summer coverlet with the white scalloped edges that have stitching requiring a few hours of hand-stitched repairs every...

That was a fascinating story, JP.

I have concerns about AI, although obviously not about taking my job since I'm retired. I've recently left a couple of home decor/aesthetics FB groups that were starting to have more and more posts...

Glad to hear you are making progress on your projects.

My husband has always been a big ELO fan and I like quite a bit of their stuff, but I'm not too crazy about that one, sorry.

I gave away two old metal file holders that we had been using in our old cupboard to hold pans and baking dishes. They are well built and will probably last forever, but we don't need them anymore....

Those look like great storage!

My husband loved that show and used to watch it all the time.

I did some work in the garden. I got a lot of emails from merchants who seemed to think I should celebrate Earth Day by buying stuff.

I hope your DH is doing better, Flowers.

Catherine: I love those old Arts & Crafts lamps. That's pretty neat that your grandson loves your lamp too!

I am awaiting one of the luminaires as we speak. I ordered it while there was a 20% off sale, which they do have occasionally. This one:

Art is definitely one of my gazingus pins, and I've been a bit spendy lately. The whole kitchen project seems to have put me in the mindset of "spare no expense to get every last detail perfect". ...

Thanks for the good thoughts. It's a sucky situation, but at least we have a small but mighty team working harmoniously to support her.
