Potpourri

Here we are already in the middle of another busy weekend.  I am trying my best to gather "stuff" around my house for a garage sale the first weekend in July.  I am bound and determined to be rid of so much that I don't use, will never use, despise for various reasons and finally stuff that is just worn out.  I can't stand clutter and unfortunately, I have found myself in the middle of it.  Old clothes, picture frames, old dishes, cups, mugs, mismatched glasses, old toys, lamps, furniture and God knows what else.  I have July 4th week as vacation, and I will be spending getting rid of "stuff".  I think once it is done I will feel so much better about everything.  "Stuff" has a way of weighing me down to the point of becoming overwhelming.  I know it sounds ridiculous, but it is true.  Just my makeup I guess.

Tomorrow Kim and I are meeting at mom's to work some more on getting her place cleaned out.  It seems that it is a never ending saga - ha!

Oh well, I am really not complaining.  I have thankful for my life as it is.  Things could always be worse - just look around!

I got to visit with Madison two nights this week!  Steve and Danelle bought a new Ford Expedition and brought it over for me to see and test drive.  They decided to go out for Chinese food later and I suggested that they leave Maddie with grammy.  That child and I are going to be really close.  I can just tell.  She crawls up on my lap and hugs me and kisses me on the lips now - with her mouth OPEN, no less! haha!  She'll eventually get the hang of it though.  You just can't imagine (or maybe you can) what my heart does at that moment! 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  The weather is supposed to be great here.  Don't work too hard and remember to take some time out for yourself.
