Lovely evening, nothing on tv,
I had finished up another book,
and then I
pondered.
Next thing I knew I had swapped tables from
family room and porch.
Done and Done
It will work better for several reasons,
one being that I needed change.
Since it is becoming apparent that a move now
is simply not practical, I am very
antsy and craving change, no,
I am lusting after change.
So much so that new piles of stuff for sale
are increasing in the garage.
I posted some on a virtual sale via email,
and have already sold most of it.
I will continue to purge and sell,
purge and sell,
and if need be another damn garage sale.
Pals will join me so they
are always a wee bit fun.
I've added another third more since I took this last week.
Almost time for flannel, soups and stews.
Pumpkins are already out.
I come back alive in the fall.
I roamed Ikea with a dear friend for
FOUR hours on Saturday.
We did sit in the dining area
for over an hour
but still...
We bought some wonderful live plants
and assorted everything else, and we chatted
and wandered to and fro ,
and ignored the floor arrows,
and it was lovely.
On another up note:
Over the weekend,
I had a dear friend
return back into my life.
what joy!

Sounds like a good time: ignoring arrows and visiting and roaming... :) And I'm very happy that you have renewed a friendship. That is pretty wonderful.
I've got a house guest right now who has stuff here so I'm really ready to do some more purging when they leave. I'm craving a lot simpler home, not minimal which I won't ever be, but still less then I have now! I love your table. Hugs!
I come back alive in the Fall too! But right now we are having high 70's and I no likie. :( Kit
Oh Z ... I LOVE your home .... if I lived nearby I would buy all of the stuff in your garage !!!!!
.... and how lovely to re-connect with a friend .... you have reminded me to contact an old friend and make arrangements to meet !! XXXX
I always love your fall and winter decorating - it's a joy to see something simple and tasteful that gives a nod to the season in a beautiful way. I'm also inspired by your continuing desire to pare down what you have - in fact, I was just telling my husband of your timer method. Love coming here to see what's what in your corner, and so glad to see Howie is till trudging on - hope he's doing well.
Happy cooler days,

You know how I feel about rules...arrows, smarrows! I like doing my own thing and making the rules as I go along :)))
You and I are on the same wave-link Z. I'm in the middle of changing things up here too.
much love to you my sweet!!!
Visiting from Karen, This Old House, and enjoying your blog. It's such fun, shopping in one's home...I furnished Poppet, my 1965 Scotty 'canned ham' camper thataway. Your idea of doing a virtual sale is great; I've been thinking of doing that but needed the encouragement...thank you.
I've never been in an Ikea store; one of these days will remedy that.
