June 28, 2026 Sunday

Greetings!

The boys have rescued baby bunnies from the window wells.  One out of each of them.  Ian took pictures.

So tiny!

Dagan helped me last Sunday to put books into the corner bookcases.  I can't grip and push hard enough to get those little pegs in so that I could put in the shelves.  He helped put the books in, too.  

I have black metal bookends packed away somewhere.  We're adding all the shelves as we go.  Just makes sense to me to wait till I know how much room I need...especially since I won't be able to move them around by myself.  :)  

I ended up with so much room I didn't have to purge any of my English and Writing books!!  In fact, all my reference books had been moved years ago upstairs into what was then the boys' classroom for homeschooling and I had enough room for those to all be moved down here!

I have back all my dictionaries, etc.  Top shelf...

...and top shelf here, too.  Was doing the happy dance!

I spent the week slowly emptying six boxes.  This one was mostly Chinese brush painting supplies.

I've been moving around Allie's beds again--lol!  She finally deemed to set foot in the new gray bed that she has avoided for many months.  :)

I moved her self-heating crate pad into her carrier.  She's slept in there now also.  (Messing with Allie's world is entertaining in itself--hehe!)

Came across about half of the bins that were in the wall shelf unit.  Needed to wipe down every bottle, jar, or tube and clean the bins.  Baby steps.

For Ian's birthday I got him this wooden owl puzzle wall clock.  Leah had it on his Amazon wish list.  (Picture of box front.)

It is for adults, but we think Ian can figure it out.  Just look at the five sheets of wooden parts, though!

This is going to take a while!

That doesn't even include the plastic and metal parts!  Ian is building it down at my place.  So I have seen quite a bit of the boys lately.  :)

This is why I LOVE my new big kitchen/dining table.  (Not sure which to call it?)  Ian has one end...

...and Liam has the other end...for now.  ;)  The middle is mine.

We introduced Liam to mandalas.  Found a stack of printed ones for coloring and Liam is busy doing that with colored pencils.

Ian has been down on his own a couple times, too.  We have had some very interesting conversations.  Reminds me of when we had our Gramma Days before covid.  Ian also took breaks from the owl clock and helped me put away the bins into the wall shelves that I had wiped down,  (All three of us were busy with our own projects at the table.)  He also carried in six more boxes for me to unpack from the storage room!  (You know where all my good, productive time is going now.)  

I'm having to wait forever for pics to come through from OneDrive to my laptop from my phone.  Not sure why.  Just been a recent development.  Been techie-tricky lately.  Spell check hasn't been working on Blogger, either, but it works everywhere else. ??

It was a good week.  Even if I took a couple more pictures to show you that haven't shown up in OneDrive yet from earlier today--lol!  Was cooler with rain off and on this past week.  Supposed to be back in the 80s again for a while.  My hand is a little better.  Maybe the methotrexin is doing something? It definitely does make me more tired some days--lol!   I go back to the eye doctor on Wednesday morning.  Can't say that eye is any better, but maybe it will be on the inside?  How much does the silicone oil effect the vision?  Who knows?

Wild Card for this week.

Obviously we don't know for sure until we have died--lol!  I, personally, do think our spirit lives on in some form and I do lean heavily towards reincarnation.  I'm just going by my own personal experience.  That's truly one of the really big life questions this week, isn't it?  

I am very much enjoying opening boxes and having my art supplies in my hands again!  Can imagine many wonderful days spending more time with the boys, too, when that room is done and everything is accessible again!  I wear out easily, but I am slowly getting things done.  Whoohoo!  Till next week, my friends!
