It was a strange feeling to be home all day today without cleaning the whole house. That being said, I did clean out three kitchen shelves/spaces, and took everything out of the storage space under the steps. Went through everything and packed a small box of items I plan to pass along to someone who can use them.
I also did some ‘time travel’ – taking myself back to some happy, fun memories that I hadn’t thought about in a while. I sat for probably fifteen minutes and played with my childhood View Master. I looked at Heidi, the White House, Mt. Vernon and a few others. Wow. THAT was a blast from the very far past!
Then I found the ‘book’ I had written about an account of an Easter scavenger hunt that Susan had created for Kathy and I out Home. I read every word and looked at all the pictures, and missed Susan terribly and all the places we used to haunt on our family trips to the cabin. Made me want to call everyone up just to talk to them and remember!

After lunch (Cheerios) I pulled everything from the downstairs closet and stacked it in the family room. I sorted and stacked and tossed and swept and cleaned — then put most of it back in, although more organized and neater.
While I worked downstairs I watched 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, and 1 Ghost, and then Magic in Mistletoe. I had seen them both before but it was fun listening to them.
The answer to yesterday’s questions is ‘1907.’ Today’s riddle is: What is always in front of you but can’t be seen? Answer tomorrow!
Birthdays, etc, January 3rd: In 1959 Alaska was admitted as a state. J R R Tolkien born 1892; Victor Borge born 1909. (Victor Borge was a favorite of my dad!)
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW January 4th is:
National Missouri Day; National Trivia Day; National Spaghetti Day.
Now I’m hungry for spaghetti. Hope I don’t have to go to Missouri to get it. God bless…
