Slipping into the house

Certain items are gradually making their way from the garage to the house.

Some make perfect sense –

book shelves

book shelves

Since one has bookshelves and boxes of books along with other items it would be foolish not to take away part of the vacant feel.

Others might be decoration – or just nuts

George has found a new home

George has found a new home

I’m not sure that my husband really cared about “George” who has been part of the family since 1975 but I felt that he has more than earned the right to live some place of honor. Like standing on a chair (made by George’s father) between some antique spinning items so that he is not exactly the oldest thing in the room.

The rest of the living room

gets a lot of light but isn’t exactly overwhelmed with stuff.

and my window for looking out

I am sure that I can fix that over the next couple of years. Perhaps we can move the lounge upstairs and this can become my studio?

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
