PS you need the kids to give you hand when they get home...as a summer project.

Today I went through an armoire and found a wall hanging that my great-Aunt had given to my mother as a young adult(before marriage). It is Hansel and Gretel in the forest and was a souvenir of Germany. My great-Aunt did a lot of travelling. I used to have it on the wall beside my bed when I was a kid and I used to fall asleep looking at it...and dreaming of it. So I hauled it out and now want to find a place for it in the house...but where? It isn't worth much...I went to have it appraised by the antique roadshow and wanted to know more about it but they basically told me nothing other than agree that it was Hansel and Gretel and that was worthless. Well...not to me.

Imagine four times the number of years in the same place. I wish you luck. I guess because our parents lived through the Depression that we tend to save everything thinking that some day we might need it...but that day seems to come after we have already gotten rid of it. We have gotten rid of a few things at the curb for free...but mostly it is stuff like extra parts for something that we don't have anymore...or allen keys...oh my gosh two containers of them. They were dumped. The wood is going to be hard as you never know...he has little scraps of wood...I mean little...he says that they are useful. For what? So I took one with permission and then tossed another. There are too many. I told him that he would have to go through the wood that I already sorted and something has to go. I think that second and third times through it is easier. Listen to me talk...I am going through my craft stuff and that is hard for me to toss...but I have. And I will. Just not today.
Do you want to move? Is it fairly easy to find new accomodation in an area that you want to live in? It is very hard here to get housing...there is more demand than there is housing...so rentals are high because of that. The rent here for an apartment is higher than what our daughter pays in Toronto and that city has one of the highest rental costs in the country. There are places being built but just not fast enough. Many immigrants from Ukraine and India have come...which is nice to have more diversity. Also ones from the Philippines. There are a group of women whom Kevin and Fang see on early morning walks...the one girl calls Fang...Buddy. They are headed to work.

I understand the scary. Funny thing is...despite being on the lake and spiders being quite plentiful...I have not run into any spiders or webs. Maybe too dusty for them. Hahahaha.
We will be doing the same thing then...how funny is that? We kind of work as a team here...I get stuff out and organize into piles of this and that...then Kevin looks at the piles and decides whether to keep or trash. Sorting all the screws was the most difficult as they seemed to be everywhere...a few here...a few there...so I would just match them up on the workbench. The one cabinet I did on my own today...just organizing so that if nothing more happens there...it is at least tidy. But Kevin will inspect tomorrow and toss out what he no longer wants to keep. I am a bit bossy...so I just tell him the strategy. It seems to be working...maybe the 47 years of marriage helps too. Hahaha

Hey. Thanks for the growth on my plants this morning. My garden is now packed and no room to move...as greenhouse is full. Now that all heights have been grown...I will probably just do one here and there for the fun of it...unless tied down with pottery lottery or gold critters.
Hope you have a great summer with the kiddos...this is the last day of school for kids here. They will be bursting forth the school doors in a few hours...freedom.

Thanks for the information...it was forwarded to my friend Laura and she acknowledged. She is in for a love fest with the candy. Hahaha

I sent you an inbox via Messenger. A friend is in Iceland and she wants to buy some black licorice(liquorice?) dipped in chocolate but does not know what to call it or if there is a specific brand? And advice to give her?

Okay. Thanks for letting me know. I think that I will switch up to kings later anyway just for a change.

My p,easure 😁

Thanks for asking. Nope...think that all is good. I am growing a few plants to have on hand. Waiting for the sunflowers and growing them.
How about you...okay?
I am kind of taking a hiatus from Facebook...and it follows with Fairyland because it is part of that platform. I like to keep informed about new Canadian products and I am amazed at what is available...that I never knew about...so I generally look at that website and then head off to craft something...to use up junk in my craft room..saving stuff that I might use one day...and the day is now. Hahaha.
