Spice Racks

3 THINGS

- robin

I went onto the patio at 5 this morning. The rain was soft and I could hear raindrops falling onto the leaves of the huge mulberry tree. Then I went back to the big bed. I am having trouble sleeping, are you?

There are 3 THINGS on my GOAL list for today, one is to straighten my book shelves. Keep-donate-throw away- many cook books. Cook books are like friends to me and I don’t like parting with any of them. I have a feeling that I will not get this certain goal completed today.

I have many, many spice racks. The one above is dated, 1989 and it is the newest one I own. On my list is to dust the spice racks. I doubt that will get done today, much like the cook books.

The third thing on my list is to take apart the TEXAS jigsaw puzzle.

That has be the most boring chore in the world. Taking apart a puzzle. Oh my gosh.

I will close now, say a bientot and …work on a canvas I started and that is not even part of the 3 THINGS list.

What can I say? You have to follow your heart.

Love you beyond the moon.

Dusty Collections

- robin

I have been cleaning the house.

Dusting little treasures

that mean the world only to me.

I have a passion for bitters bottles

and

old spice cabinets.

Have you ever thought about why people collect certain things?

My friend, Sally Jo, loves guns

and

Amanda collects books.

I wonder why they collect certain things?

I wonder what my collections say about me?

{I am not a hoarder}

Is a collection a comfort or a distraction?

I am not sure which it is…but I love colors and shapes….

There is a calmness about keeping what you love around you.

It is better than a glass of wine.

{ please don’t tell Larry I said that}

Love you.
