Bye bye winter

Can you see me, standing on my deck, waving at Old Man Winter? Actually, this year the Old Man has been very nice to us. Last year he was a mean and nasty butt head. This year: sweetness and light. So: I made it to the pool and participated in water exercises this morning. I then headed home and started in on another kind of exercise: I started in on closing my eyes, grabbing an object out of the closet and putting that object into a box. Once the object touched the box, it stayed in the box. That box now sits in my car's trunk. Now I must continue on in teaching my hand to reach out, grab and deposit. Wish me luck.

Glad you made it to the pool Lenore.... Winter here in Ontario has been Normal - but harsher than the last few years...hopefully it's over and I can get to opening swimming pools as I am in the pool business!

@Luap1050 Being in the pool business must get frustrating at times. The motel pool that we use is either too cold or too warm and several times they've shut down the hot tub due to issues in it.

@sallypup oh yeah ...keeping a customers water safe - and clear - can be a challenge. Hot tubs have to be looked at DAILY ina Motel/ Hotel ...which they are not. 2 people in a hot tub is the equivalent of 60 people in a pool!!...so think about how THAT affects the water sanitation and quality! - I would not be going in a Motel or Hotel Hot tub - pool , yes, but not the Hot tub!

@Luap1050 One day we were told that the hot tub was closed down cause some dumb bunny had put bubble bath in the water- trying to take a bath??

@marlina If I look too closely at stuff I will get attached to it all over again. Not good.

I wish I could do that but I cannot since my clothes are all hung up by color.

Get rid of the box before you change your mind.

Gosh, I hope all the stuff you're tossing has been gone through before and deemed as not worth keeping!

@JudyEv I was going to give away a lamp that was my Mom's but couldn't. The good stuff is locked away in my big curio cabinet. I just have to admit to being my Mom's kid: she could hardly walk for the 'stuff.' I have tried not to get that crazy but dang its easy to pile in little things- large Christmas ornaments when I haven't had a large tree in years??? Got to go and its not fancy. Just shiny. The 2 or 3 vintage ornaments are locked away.
