As of last Monday the residents of Oregon have been given the "order" to stay home, no longer a request. MeMa and I being ardent rule followers stayed in as of the earlier request, but thousands of citizens drove to the coastal towns as if this whole work from home thing was time to party hardy at the beach. Wrong! It is because of these stupid people that the coastal towns got together and closed everything and issued orders for all non residents to vacate or be arrested.
MeMa made two lists, one are all outdoor projects and the other indoor since it is spring and weather flip flops from warm sunny to cool rainy. Today is rain so we have been decluttering the upper floor which contains office, library and guest room. Being an amateur naturalist I have collected many things from my years of traveling and living in Europe and the UK. We recently purchased a museum case at IKEA to house many of my specimens and bits and bobbles. MeMa did a bang up job of arranging most of it. I am just thrilled that most of my collection is out of the many boxes they had been housed in and stuffed in the closet.

She also guided me through the task of tidying up a disaster called my desk. Oh, look the roll top actually closes.
Good for you! I actually did the same thing re: lists, one indoor and one outdoor. We haven't started any of it yet, though, because my husband is still recovering from either a bad cold or the flu that he caught maybe 3 weeks ago, and then a few days ago I started to feel bad (most likely allergies). Hopefully in the next few days we'll be able to start our lists, too. We're both mostly out of work right now and stuck at home.
ReplyDeleteI love your roll top desk!
Hope you both recover soon it is no fun being forced to take time off and not be able to do things around the house and yard.
DeleteI miss the old roll top desk from when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteMy rolltop is actually from the late 60's I purchased unfinished. MeMa has her fathers very large and very heavy oak rolltop that was in his office at his theatre.
DeleteGood for those little town governments who stood up and backed 'em down.
ReplyDeleteLove your new display cabinet and the roll top desk. The whole world should have clean and tidy houses by the end of this. Keep safe.
