Now both of us have to learn to use a laptop, and I do NOT deal well with learning new stuff. I'll probably be real frustrated for awhile trying to learn it. But the nice thing is now I can sit in other parts of the house, or even on porch, and not be tied to my chair in here if I don't want to be. I'm worried tho, things happen in THREES, so just waiting to see what the next big thing that breaks down will be. sigh.

Tho maybe this will count for a 'bad thing'....
I can't find the box with my Fall plates and other ceramic items. I have about 8 decorative plates and its driving me crazy not to find them! I don't know where else to look, and have checked various places THREE times now! The Fall bins were all where they were supposed to be, but the "breakable stuff" not in them!! Actually my Halloween plates (just have 2 or 3 I think) must be with them too as I didn't see any in my Halloween stuff when I was looking thru it last week. :o( Looks like I won't find them this Fall tho, and if they somehow are in the Xmas stuff, YOU will probably hear my scream of rage then.

Anyway, I've got some Fall decorating done and will get it posted a bit later.
hugs, Karen

Looking forward to your new photos.

Happy Hunting,

It is totally FULL of Fall. It feels like bricks are in there, I could barely drag from garage into family room! I didn't do anything so far but lift the lid to confirm it was Fall. The size and weight of this thing is REALLY scary! Especially as I unpacked 4 other Fall bins, the size of the green one, and you saw how much I've decorated. Holy Purple Cow! Maybe this one should have STAYED missing! Sheesh.

It was in one of the places I'd looked THREE times already. Guess one should never stop looking, huh?
I have a corner in the garage with Christmas bins, most all the size of the green one cause that is an easy size for me to lift and carry. Tho I do have some the next size up for garlands as I have so many of them.
This blue one, needless to say, was on the bottom of the stack. And I was POSITIVE all my big Xmas garlands were stored in there. POSITIVE, I tell you! Of course if I had any working brain cells left, when
I put it out there last year and had clearly written FALL on it in a big black marker, I'd have made sure the lettering faced the FRONT and not the garage wall. Arrrrrggghhhh.
Anyway, this evening, out of frustration after previously checking all the green bins before... without having
to move any of them... I moved all of them and looked in the blue one just to prove to myself it did hold the
Xmas garland. Wish you'd seen my face when I saw what I saw. And glad I couldn't see the look of horror that it must have showed. Especially when I went to move it. (I swear there has to be bricks in there!!)

I probably will have to drag it out on the back porch in the morning as I can't have it, or a mess of stuff, in
my family-room cause company is coming over. The man who wrote Jason's book is coming back to go thru my photos, and the memorabilia (articles, magazines, etc) I've collected since he was burned. He'll
probably be here around 2 hrs. The book is at the publisher waiting for photos. Will be ready to order
soon hopefully. (Jas and Russ both will sign copies for any of you who want it by the way. Unfortunately I don't know the price yet)

Well, my back is screaming at me for dragging that bin and moving all the others full of Xmas things, so
I better go move around and treat myself to some Vicodin. If I was smart I'd throw them out and get some Vodka. LOL. Probably be cheaper and I'd probably be more fun to be around.

hugs, Karen
PS...Marlene, how neat you and I almost share the same anniversary day.

I also MMarker my bins on 1 end side & 1 long side ...&, it never fails that some face the wall or get hidden by another! I'm up to 2 Fall bins ...growing! I won't count the Christmas ones!

Take good care of yourself ... any "V" sounds like a winner for your body tonight! The mystery is solved! Yay! Jeanne S.
(like Marlene, I'm also old-schooled & still use a wireless mouse w/our laptop ...got one of those little plastic desk thingy's w/a pull-out on one side (end) for the mouse) Most often, I'm still at my desktop! ;-)

Look what's coming next!

Jeanne, love that truck and it seems like the perfect storage for Karen! LOL

At least when my DH came home, (gone all evening to a big function for Jason's foundation) he actually SAW the Big Blue Bin in the Middle of the family-room. Wow, I'm so impressed.
LOL.

hugs, Karen

How sweet that we will be able to have both signatures! Hope to see you in some of the photos w/Jas! Keep me posted and I'll mail you a check when it's time.

Jeanne, those train cars on the Freightliner truck made me LOL. My sister is an antique collector and she bought one a few years ago. She has a two story home and several outbuildings too. Good thing she lives on 10 wooded acres or her lot would be filled up!
