Isn't Dusting Fun?

I just dusted a bunch (*cough*cough*) of birthday cards that I had on my bookshelf. Also, a lovely crystalline platform with 'Love' on it. I also have a picture of my granddaughter on this shelf from back when she was about 10 or so. She's 34 now. Will have her birthday in December. I still remember when my daughter went into labor with her first child. She had gone to a Christmas function and was setting talking to some people when she started having actual pains. I came and got her, and we got to the hospital in plenty of time. (The father had kicked her out when he found out she was pregnant. What a guy!) My granddaughter was such a cute baby. Back to my dusting.

In the summer when the property dries out more, the dust kicks up. I don't have a lot out being a minimalist but hate to dust what I do have out.

Same here. But I like to display what the kids have given me.

@celticeagle I used to when I had a big house. I had spots for displays. I will still put homemade cards and such on my refrigerator. I'm a minimalist and really downsized over the years.

I need to do some dusting too. I'm thinking of packing away a few more things so I don't have so many dust collectors.

I do have some cards as well, I not longer received any cards so all cards are kept in somewhere for me to dust up and have a look then back to storage to gather dust again.

Oh, it’s a hoot (choke). I get in big trouble when I forget to put a mask on when I’m dusting.

Just about every two days I have to vacuum fur bunnies. I need to dust and wipe clean stuff like all the woodwork. Some day....

Thanks for sharing the memories. My house needs to be dusted; but I will have to wait until cousin #2 has time since #3 is out of the picture.

Your daughter was brave to raise that baby on her own. Granddaughters are the best. I have a couple.
