Cleaning up my life……..

Well, my life is pretty clean but my drawers and closets need a good purging…….I'm not particularly sentimental so most of the time I can get rid of "stuff" that we all like to hoard keep.   But I hang on to art supplies and I love my books.    But now, it's time to face reality and know that I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME…..I will never use all of this and probably won't even look at it ever again.     I still plan on living to be  (more) old and (more) feeble but I do like my pens and pencils and papers much more than the others……so the paints and books  must go.    I might have a source who will take some of it and if I don't, I'll offer it up to the various clubs or schools.   

Now I only buy books that don't work on the Kindle so my habit is more under control.    I know that Barnes and Noble can't exist unless I contribute to it's bottom line…..but I love sitting there with a favorite magazines, a Starbucks and my best friend.    I rarely buy anything …. I hope they come up with a solution to stay in business.    Maybe they could branch out into shoes, or hats, or  pet supplies…….or….combine with Nordstroms !!

Because I know you are just waiting for the big announcement…..there is none.   I did not place in the Photo contest …..  I wasn't disappointed nor surprised once I saw those that won.    This year the photos were outstanding.   Usually, they are quite mediocre and ordinary.   But this time there was great creativity and technique and diversity.   I was impressed…… but I still like my frog.    

 The house is moving along faster than we had thought.    We need to drop by soon and make any changes before the dry wall goes in.    Electric and plumbing will be in shortly and we may need to change outlets.

The back has a large overhang over the great room to help with the western sun.   To the left is the Master bedroom, to the right is the guest room.    This view is looking from the golf course.
I am NOT looking forward to furnishing an entire house.    We did it once before, also in Colorado in the early 90's…..I took my time then but we are having a family gathering in July so I want it well equipped to handle our crowd.

We are back on the golf courses.    We are slowly improving after almost 9 months of inactivity.    I saw the good Dr once again re: the knee and find that I have some sort of patellar syndrome vs: the MCL issue.     Good news is I can do anything I want and won't hurt it.    I've been wearing a brace which feels good when I'm swinging but it sure doesn't do much for an even tan.   Meanwhile, Mr Pickleball has made himself quite popular by attaching the GoPro to the fencing and capturing his League play.   He's sending the videos to various players so they can critique their games.    They are loving it but also take notice of their physique and one guy thought he looked pregnant.
