2010 ; Looking Ahead

Happy New Year to everyone! When I was a kid I thought by 2010 we would be living like the George Jetson family. Traveling around in space vehicles, & using more robots like Rosie the Robot to do our household chores. I am kinda glad that we are not that advance yet, I like the simpler quiter things in life.

I am sure most of you have had snow and the freezing temps. As of this writing it is 16 outside. Thank GOD for the heat and fireplace.

We moved in this house almost 2 years ago with our son and his wife. They have since moved on and so the renovations continue for us. In 2010, I shall be looking for certain pieces to put in this house. Looking at the center of my kitchen ; I am longing for an old table that I can put wheels on and a butcher block top that will move around with me. During the holidays, I needed to get some baskets off the floors. I was one of those Longaberger collectors, who have more than I need of baskets. My husband & I made the little ladder when we done wholesale, so it took care of some of them. Any ideas would be appreciated for some of the bigger ones I cannot hang.

Since my son and daughter-in -law moved out, I need to get this wallpaper down off a bedroom wall. You can see the yucky yellow paint underneath and the cracks which will have to be patched in the wall. When it is done this will be another room to decorate. Yesterday, I got my fabric softner and vinegar to spray, to start this week. Then I will paint some nuetral color. We have to get a new bed and all the fixins to make the room.

We built this farmhouse table last year and I have found some old windsor chairs here & there. I am on the lookout for 3 more to complete my table. This will probably be an ongoing search throughout the year.We are hoping to have all our kids home 2010 Thanksgiving, so I will need them by then.

May this year keep everyone safe , healthy and full of blessings.
