THURSDAY FEBRUARY 5, 2015

Good morning! It's 830, and I just got up.  AdvilPM did it's job. Not only did I sleep, I had a walk down memory lane. Haha. 

Let me explain. I received a call from an attorney, who asked what I was doing with my house in Boca? Of course, I told him I sold it years ago! The attorney informed me my house was still there, just waiting for me to sort it out. Oh my!

So, I arrived on my old doorstep, walked in and saw all was in its place with a little layer of dust. One item I saw was a house-shaped basket on top of my kitchen cabinets. I always put rose petals in it from my rose garden to dry for potpourri. That house-shaped basket was a gift from Donna Johnson, a mortgage broker I did real estate business with. I hadn't thought of her in years. You see, Donna was found dead in her back garden by her horrified daughter 15 years ago!

All things I owned went through my mind like flipping catalog pages ... along with how I acquired it or who gifted it to me. It was bitter-sweet. So many family and friends had crossed-over; but there they were, safely connected, through a cherished item, now a memory. 

In the garage was my trusty Ford truck! Yay! But didn't I sell it to Ryan? Then it came to me ... I was responsible for tidying all this up, and finding new homes for each item. What a big friggin' job!!!

eBay!!! That's what started the dream! LOL. I'm not just selling items but pieces of my soul. It was great visiting my old house and all the kindness attached to the curios. I've never had a problem GIVING things away ... so why would selling things provoke these feelings? 

Did YOU sleep well? It's a dull-looking day after a night of rainfall. This afternoon it'll be tapering off though. 

My job today is ... Chocolate cupcakes for my Ya Ya peeps. It's our monthly gathering, tonight at Carin's house. I offered to bring a dessert. 

Mark had planned to trim the palm trees and crepe myrtles, but the rain ended that idea. 

So, it was Robbie the Rascal's hair cut day! Here's the fluffer-nutter ...

Ravishing Robbie after ... 

Next is bath time ...

Mark cooked two meat loaves today while I made chocolate cupcakes for Ya Ya's tonight. (Yes, I saved some for Mark & Lew!). Another lawn mower part was needed, so Mark took a drive for that while I tidied up.

A glass of wine together and I'm off to see "the gals" for my monthly therapy. Wine & pizza and laughs tonight. Ta ta
