List Monday

The last time that I posted was May 8th and it was a List Monday themed post.  It made me very happy that only 3 tasks were not crossed off of that list today while working on this new post. Some of the reoccurring tasks were about cleaning out the little bedroom, taking its contents to our storage unit, running to Goodwill, organizing the room and taking Christmas decorations to the attic. This is what that room looks like presently.

This room has been done for a couple of years now and was occupied by our oldest granddaughter while they visited us for 3 weeks. 

 

Now on to the other bedroom-----

Our middle granddaughter was in the room that needed a lot of work before we picked them up mid-July.  They were so much fun!

I have never wanted to take my daughter's toys to Goodwill over the decades and have kept pretty much all of their play things. The grands enjoy it all which includes Legos, Lincoln Logs, block, Fisher Price, Barbie's, horses, Playskool, art supplies, books and tons more.  I also have what my Mom had for them such as a puppet theater, odd but, cool playsets and doll houses +++ furniture, etc. It is getting way too much and yes, I do realize eventually something needs to be done, lol.  

This last photo shows all of the cool and colorful patches in this quilt that my great aunt Wilda Lowry made.  I love it so much.
