Share the Joy: Home Stretch



Did you notice I was missing in action last week?

The painters needed my input on putting furniture back in place
in the rooms they had completed
so they could paint the rooms
that had been reserved for furniture storage.
And the dust. . . . . . . oh my!
Did I mention that I don't have a computer
in the house that's almost ready for sale?

Now, with the exception of the toilet area in the master bath,
which will be put back together today and tomorrow,
everything looks splendid.

The photographer came and took interior photos a couple of days ago
and will photograph the exterior tomorrow
when the sun shines,
and it'll be on MLS on Tuesday.

So next week, I'll link the sales site to Share the Joy
so you can see what I've been up to for about a month.
It's all fancied up !

So I took a field trip with a friend yesterday
(sans camera, unfortunately)
so she could show me some of her favorite shops
in Seattle
and we ended up at Daniel's Broiler on Lake Union
for happy hour on the deck overlooking a marina
and watched the crew teams and float planes.

@ Valerie Garner

the joy is that I have work, the joy is that I have a new shop, the joy is that we have a couple of pieces in a museum show and the agony is all the same things as I try to deal with them all at the same time.

Sometimes Things Aren't What They Seem

Sometimes things aren't what they seem. We settle in somewhere, thinking it's going to be safe and hospitable and just what we hoped for, a magical haven that provides us shelter from harm. Then reality sets in and we realize that we were mistaken. That soft place to land turns out to be quite a bit less soft than we'd anticipated. In fact sometimes things get downright hard and cold and unforgiving. Not at all what we expected. Do we stay and make the best of it or fly away to build a new nest somewhere else? Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from learning to see the beauty right in front of your eyes. Sometimes we bloom most gloriously when we learn to thrive just where we are and come to love just what we have. Maybe each of us is exactly where we need to be, learning lessons custom-made for us.

Haiku My Heart: May the Fourth Be With You

Image
Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
