Doesn’t this look like fun? I read about this blog party and thought I’d join in on Friday. If you’re interested, just go to Marie’s blog and read all the details. I have a few things I can share – and even more in storage (by that I mean my friend’s basement in Detroit) that I can’t get to.

I emerged from the guest bedroom/office/husband’s recording studio with achy muscles, having made some major headway with the mess. Things are more organized, many things were tossed, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Quite frankly, we sometimes think we should eliminate the bed and buy a sofa bed. So much space would be freed up. We don’t have guests that often and it seems silly to have a bed taking up all that space. My only qualm is that it is a good mattress, everyone always says they love sleeping on it, and I know sofa bed mattresses can be a little problematic. We have only 2 bedrooms here – and two adults who do a lot of their work at home. We’re still pondering.

Yes, it is Scout, Riley and me posing on the porch. Notice our chippy/rusty glider. I always think I should paint it, but I sort of like it this way. The dogs have on their decorated scarves that I made for Kelee Katillac’s cause. She has extended the deadline and if you would still like to decorate a scarf for an incredibly good cause – helping homeless dogs – please stop by her blog and scroll down for more information. It only takes a little bit of time!

Have a great day everyone!
