Day 7 - Box Challenge Finale
Q
Comments (10)
Checking in - have been unpacking stuff that has been waiting for the bedroom closet. With the additional shelves on the sides they are now my linen closet replacement (don't have one in this house) so I'm pretty pleased with this. Now I can move our hanging clothing still in the trailer through the wash and finally home. Happy Happy! And as the boxes leave here, the space is evolving. More items are finding where they belong or don't. I watched another episode of Hoarders today - I know we are all on the right track. I understand the psychology on how things can get out of control when life wallops you, I understand how good it feels when you regain control again instead of letting items take over. We are all different. Our belongings mean different things to each and everyone of us. I want to cherish what brings me joy, memories, are of practical use. Sometimes things change along with their value. Life changes. I want to change with it down the path where I can step freely. Tonight will should be a better sleep not seeing items pushed against the wall because they had no home. Our bathroom feels like heaven when taking a shower because there is room enough not to knock things down, stub my toe. Our kitchen will continue to be a work in progress until we get those cupboards but at least I can choose to have organized storage until then...and hopefully we can both keep it that way. Instead of walking around something that should be put away, I'm going to start picking more up every day. That job is becoming so much less hassle as my space has definition. Clutter brings clutter. Space brings peace. Next week I think will be a great week to clean the windows again to enjoy the sunny days when they arrive. See the snow sparkle at night when it falls. It all starts with one box, one bag, one item. We are doing this. We are empowered. Please share your week with us, ups and downs. Are you feeling better now? Until later, need a cuppa and think about dinner for later. Cheers my friends, Peggy

Doris Day's $7.4MM Carmel Estate
Q
Comments (13)
A lovely, livable house on beautiful acreage. We live about three to four miles away, and go down to Carmel Valley to buy pumpkins every fall. It's a wonderful landscape, something out of an English painting, with mountains and the sea. Doris Day's home, designed to perfectly reflect her, fits right in, sitting low on the land and not interrupting the view! It will not be turned into a subdivision. The people of the area won't permit that. Years ago, a huge parcel of a few hundred acres - close to the D.D. property -, on both sides of Highway 1, from the sea to the hills, came up for sale, and a development company moved in with plans to buy it and build condos and townhouses. There was a tremendous hue and cry! And in came Clint Eastwood, who bought the entire thing, turned a lot of it over to non-profits, and preserved the rest, with Victorian buildings and the sheep ranch all intact. Today you can dine outdoors while watching the sheep grazing in a field just next to the beach. If you come here for a visit, Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch is a must! Pinkmountain - Concerning the plants on DD's property. Am pretty sure that they use drip irrigation. As do we, and most people who have gardens here. And that they use plantings that are drought-tolerant and deer resistant. If they don't, the plants will dry up and blow away, if they aren't first consumed by our local Bambis! You might be surprised at the varieties of flora that are suitable. E.g. lavender. Deer hate lavender. Our front yard has a lot of it! Sable

Interesting - when I happened to come across it in a book or on TV I always knew what it meant, but never thought about the origins.

Oh my goodness Bev,
I think very highly of you AND your PSP talent!
It was in NO WAY directed at you.
I am so sorry as I now looked at the way you took it and can see how you would think that.

Elaine made me that siggie, which is the same as hers, and my thanks was pointed at the tag as her reply back indicated.

Urlee..
I am so, so, sorry for the misunderstanding I think the world of all of you on here. I was a little depressed last night and of course, when your that way, you take everything the wrong way...My mistake...Everything is O.K.
and anyone who wants to start a post for the day is "Believe Me" welcome to do it...I just wanted to get the ball rolling again in here for our group...and it seems to have gotten us all busy doing a little more posting..so as Martha would say.."That's a Good Thing"

I'm sorry Elly, but I don't have a tut for that one. I'm sure Elaine or Urlee will be glad to point you in the right direction for the tut..

This is definitely not complicated Elly - it is an animated alphabet. I'm wouldn't be any good at writing a tutorial on how to do this, but I'd sure do a siggie for you......just tell me what name you want and I'll make it!

I'll send you the animated alpha if you want to do it yourself, but if you don't - I'll make one for you, just tell me the name.
