Here is the room as you walk in the door. I’m actually folding laundry in here now – it isn’t so dark and dingy and it’s kind of nice to stand in there….great area, eh?Then this is my old file cabinet full of fabrics (all organized by color in ziplock baggies – I need to mark the outsides of the drawers) with the chest freezer which we just swaped, we used to have a much larger one and this one is smaller and tidier and probably more fuel efficient (thanks Scot for that).

So, one of my issues last year was stopping to just enjoy life. Unlike most people, we escaped the health and employment issues of crazy 2020 but I couldn’t help but wait for the “other shoe” to drop – basically waiting for something bad to happen. In searching for a
