Dyson

It's been too long since I've checked in, so there'll be some catching up to do. But first...I've had the BEST couple of days ever since being introduced to the new love of my life...M. Dyson (insert  desired gender...:-)) 

So together we spent today vacuuming (M. Dyson's speciality) and dusting and organizing. I did the laundry...bedding, towels and all, and changed the bed linens. Did the dining area and kitchen floor yesterday. Tomorrow...bathroom!

My back is not the happiest of campers (once I get started, I forget when to stop). But soon I will slip into my newly made bed in my laundered nightie with a smile on my face. And I'm guaranteed to sleep well tonight. 

Throughout my life I have been blessed with friends who have shared their homes and children with me and others who have indulged my overreaching desire for order by allowing me to organize their living quarters, cook for them, fold laundry together. One such person has opened her home, a home I have known since childhood...that's how far back we go. 

This is us in 1967. She was thirteen and I was twelve. 

Taken in front of my family's candy store, which was around the corner from where I'm staying now.  

She did this without question fully aware of the risks involved ;-) It's a full service organization; if there's anything you need chances are there's at least one of it to be had. Finding one, well let's just say that's my mission in life, implementing order. LOL. 

(Yes, I was outside in the beautiful weather today too.)
