I'm trying - some days are better then others - this week is really great. We're having Indian Summer and taking advantage by hosting 3-4 patio lunches this week before we pack up the furniture. Nothing makes me happier than the people I love!!!!

Also continuing my cleaning/giving away project. Yesterday I gifted my no-longer-used sewing machine to a person who wore hers out sewing masks and charity quilts. I don't know which of us was more delighted - especially because she also went home with a 2 boxes of no-longer-needed fabrics. And next week I should have another carful for the local charity that finds permanent housing for homeless families. Sorting through extra household supplies - nobody thinks about how much it costs to set up with all new sheets, towels, blankets, pillows, dish cloths - since we no longer host housefuls of visiting cousins with their kids, it's time to pare down.
