Take Me Out To The Ballgame...

Sunday weather was perfect for a trip to Milwaukee to watch a ballgame with loved ones. Especially when our team - Theeee Milwaukee Brewers - won! Baseball is my all-time favorite sport, and it was so nice to share the game with Son #1 and his family.

Three of my favorite guys in front of the ballpark.


Grandson and his mom. All these folks made for a flawless recipe for a perfect afternoon.

On another subject - 

With the weather bouncing all over the map, my hands have been feeling it. Especially my left thumb. I've been treating it with Tylenol™, organic castor oil mixed with frankincense, and Blue Emu™. They help, but it's been difficult for this southpaw to hold a fork, let alone a needle. 

Which is my way of telling you there's been no progress on the frogs since last week. Believe me, I'm hoping things improve. I really want to get back to working on them. I only work my regular ten hours this week, so I'm going to be optimistic that I accomplish something on them soon. I'd cross my fingers, but that hurts, too right now. sigh What's the old saying? "Getting old ain't for sissies." Yes. That.

Folding Fabrics...

I'm on a roll now! I've been folding fabrics that will either be listed in my Etsy shop, or will be shipped off for donation. This is just a sampling of those that will be shipped for donation on Monday.

Now that I've wholeheartedly jumped into decluttering, I'm motivated to keep going. What don't I want to store or dust anymore? Is it worth my time to list for sale? Is there really a great reason to keep this? Is this something someone in our family would like now or in the future? If so, could I just give it to them now? Would someone enjoy it more than I? If we were to move again, would it be worth packing to take with us? These are the questions I ask myself every time I look at, move, or clean something now. It sure is making it easier to send things on their way.

There are more fabrics in the original photo than what I've shared here, so I'm going to pack this box first, and then start another batch to send toward the end of next week. I know I've written this before, but I wasn't fully committed to letting go until recently. This summer will be the season for real change. You'll be seeing more of this in the future. 

It's difficult to believe it's the weekend again already, and that we're starting June - the middle of the year! Will someone please slow down time for me? I'm getting dizzy, it's passing so fast! Happy Saturday. I hope you do something fun this weekend!
