Throwing away my old stuff.

 This year has been a year of letting go and cleaning the clutter from my house.  This quilt was made over 30 years ago.  It has been used and loved.  I have a hard time letting go of things from my mother.  She will say “get rid of it, the fabric is rotting and there are holes in it everywhere.” So this week I took her advice and threw it away. I have lots of quilts and I had not been using it.  I think my mom said she will make me a new quilt so that made it easier.

Do you have a hard time getting rid of old things?

The last days of “TheTrip”

 

The last days of our trip were spent down by the Jersey shore.

We didn’t get warm sunny weather.  So we

Did a lot of walking.

Little bird checked out some different places too.

We went to places that my husband hung around when 

He was younger.  He likes Bruce Springsteen.

I got the whole story behind some of his songs.

The giant Tilly face.

I feel this is a popular view you see painted for 

Beach scenes.

Little bird liked the artwork.

We stayed at Diane’s bed and breakfast.

We are so thankful for the few days we got to spend 

At her lovely place.

I saw these flip flop and thought of the theme word

For my year. Journey.  We definitely took 

Some journeys this year.

This was a beach house that one of my husbands friends had 

Owned once.

I added to my birding count. Lots of different seagulls 

To photograph.

I have a lot of photos of my husband doing this.

He loves the ocean.

This is one of the beach houses that I like. It would 

Be fun to see the inside.

We stopped at Gee Gees for pizza and once for hot chocolate.

A cute beachfront house.  We like the small ones 

That have been around for years.

The ocean was angry that day.

We watched the boats come in. 

Had a black and white cookie.

Then we hit the last day of our trip.

Every breakfast was French toast with maple syrup and bacon.

I think this photo of me came out nice.

I don’t think I post many photos of myself.

We went to a pinball museum.

We had this pinball machine when we lived in New Jersey.

I’m dressing up as a green alien for Halloween.

A cute item at an antique store.

French toast again.

We had two meals from this restaurant.

I like sitting and watching the boats .

It’s weird but I like photos with lamp posts. I always think of Narnia.

The fishermen don’t like cormorants. I like them.

They need the fish more than us.

This was a bittersweet trip.

Time to fly home.

Airports are a world of their own.

Little bird is as big as a glass of water.

My daughter needs an escape pod. Just a bit big and sound proof.

I like my luggage tag. I got it free from Shutterfly.

Do you look to make sure there is toilet paper?

It’s one of my favorite Seinfeld shows.

This is the inside of the bathroom in the Newark airport.

Well I have finally finished writing about the trip.

Kimberly’s art gallery. The nine has changed to five.

Remember my Mother’s Day gift, 9 cardboard squares 

On my living room wall.

Well the photos I chose were a bit bigger 

So it’s now five spots.

I have 3 photos printed so far.

A hummingbird.

Temple square in the spring.

A steam train in the desert.

My theme is places we go on dates.

I love the train photo.

It came out so nice.

What do you think of my art gallery?

The Trip a sweet blessing.

After the funeral we received a great blessing.

One of my husbands aunts let us 

Stay at her beach house.

We drove down and stopped for dinner at

The sinners steak house.

I had French onion soup.

Then we went to the beach house.

It was such a blessing to not have to rent a 

Hotel for three days.

My husband’s parents had owned the house and 

Sold it to his aunt and uncle years ago.

They remodeled it.

It was a very cozy place to stay.

I could feel Gods love and 

Comfort in this great act of kindness.
