And I've discovered that if you don't have a lot of clutter, the cleaning can be done quickly and easily and really isn't such a big chore any more. Some rooms are mastered like that..and I have a few rooms left that still attract all the junk..which starts the cycle of being too hard to keep clean, too cluttered to handle, and too overwhelming to tackle. Mainly, I'm talking about my studio. lol....<br /><br />Yep, I'm loving the vintage collecting....and I haven't forgotten the singing cowboys, either! ;)Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-69370550797321487382016-04-09T22:27:54.230-04:002016-04-09T22:27:54.230-04:00thank you! :)thank you! :)Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-84604642997168041302016-04-09T22:27:38.359-04:002016-04-09T22:27:38.359-04:00We had that exact same weather!

Just from the pictures you've posted over the years of your home, I really doubt that you EVER have a problem with dusting...or dust bunnies...or any of the rest of that stuff. Your place always looks SPOTLESS!! And don't say you cleaned it up for the pictures! Aside from that tease, I love your vintage collection of stuff too. You get some of the neatest things! <br />Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362791721052076891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-14964189177148994682016-04-09T11:04:47.103-04:002016-04-09T11:04:47.103-04:00Nice collection of bread boards!Nice collection of bread boards!The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-13105258005128057612016-04-09T10:22:01.951-04:002016-04-09T10:22:01.951-04:00We had snow at 5:00 AM this morning.

I can see the weather out of the window, under the street light, and the snow began almost like sleet or fine snow and then switched to large flakes. My mother told me that when it is snowing, the fine flakes accumulate and the really big ones come at the end of the snow storm and that is how it was here this morning. The sidewalk where the mailman will have to walk is like frozen slush. By the way, I really do like your scales. I am not partial to plates--we use a lot of paper plates nowadays--Patty is still young at 80 but after 61 years of being married she discovered that I don't mind what I eat off of as long as it is clean. I am always inspired by your work, your posts and your boys. You have inspired me to try a larger blog: awlincoln.blogspot.com is my first attempt. (Just type the URL in and see what comes up).

And, yes, indeed, that brown transferware will be great on your Thanksgiving table. What did I do today? Twenty of us from our 55+ apartment complex went to the Texas Roadhouse for yummy steaks. I ate so much I could barely walk. hehe.Latane Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745676377589651275noreply@blogger.com
