Decluttering Part 1

First, let me explain. I am not a hoarder, however I do keep an awful lot of stuff, just in case. I have emotional attachments to things – I think because as a child, things (all things) were so very transient. I also harbor fear that the GOVERNMENT will want proof of something someday I […]

Retirment Week 3

Okay, I am tired of this. I have had a cold for two plus weeks – I am tired of it. Mostly I am tired of looking around, knowing I have SO much to do, and not wanting to do any of it. Well, I need a plan, and a schedule: Tomorrow (Tuesday) Guest room […]

Retirment Week 2

June 2016

I got a bit ahead of myself on this blog – I missed a couple of really important things…. All to celebrate… this boy! Poor picture of my very handsome grandson, Emmitt James Gordon Woolsey – High School Graduate!

A couple more Castles

http://www.inveraray-castle.com/ First Inveraray Castle – Distant relatives, with an interesting history (The Scots are a rather brutal group and the highlanders the most brutal – just say’n). But today this is a working Castle with the Duke of Arygll and his family living and working there. (Watch for the Duke in the gift shop…hint he […]
