Redecorating
Been a few days now and in the midst of redecorating my bedroom and very slowly decluttering. I started rearranging the furniture and trying to figure a different way to put the main furniture. De-cluttering is kind of fun but at the same time it's hard to do and let go of certain items. This started as a chore day that is taking a long time for now, I am waiting for a steam cleaner to finally get my carpet cleaned and it looks like it may be Saturday to get that done. Wish me luck in this endeavor, please.

Chore Days
Believe it I would have loved to be reading and writing, but chores for the past few weeks were piling up from sweeping the floors and all that jazz. I am also kind of rearranging my bedroom and it's a small room. I have even cleaned my closet and rearranged that. When it cools off outside I plan to go out to my shed "library/den" and reorganize out there, but as I said it has to cool off first at least down into the 70's and low humidity. I am hoping to start writing soon again when work is done.

Pooh meets Paddington
Piglet climbed down the small tree and smiled and walked over to Eeyore and handed him his tail. Eeyore was so happy in his own way and Paddington opened his suitcase to see if he had anything to attach Eeyore's tail so maybe he would not lose it again. He found a safety pin and attached to Eeyore's back end. Eeyore was just so happy wiggling it around. He offered his thanks to all involved and joined in the party that seemed to be growing to get Paddington back to London proper. Who will they meet next? Could it be....

Pooh meets Paddington
Eeyore reached the sapling and studied it very long. "I think I found my tail up a tree. Have no way of knowing how it got this far. They all said that it was quite blustery this morning. "I suppose it was." said Eeyore. They all looked up into the tree and they to see what looked like Eeyore's tail. The tree did not look strong enough for Pooh or Paddington or even Eeyore to climb, so Piglet decided to shake off his anxiety and climb the tree. Piglet made it to the spot, and it was Eeyore's tail now.

Pooh meets Paddington
Paddington saw something hanging in the thistle bush and called Pooh over "Is this his tail?" It was just a piece of thin bark. They continued to walk down the path looking in directions. Paddington was getting a little peckish and pulled out a marmalade sandwich and offered to all for he liked to share. Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore had their favorite snacks, and marmalade was not what they wanted at the moment. They noticed something hanging from a tree sapling and walked closer. "Could it be?" Eeyore was first to check it out for he missed his tail much.
