GRIEF

I have come to believe that time does heal.  The healing comes in little pieces, one at a time, like some complicated puzzle that appears impossible to put together.  And, sometimes, it surprises me.

I was shopping in Home Depot when one of Dave's favorite songs came on.  I didn't have that OMG, I'VE BEEN KICKED IN THE STOMACH feeling.  I was expecting it - almost anticipating it - but it just wasn't there.  Instead, I recalled a really nice moment with Dave.  And I smiled.

I guess time does heal.

Working on the RV - the latest

I have been busy as a bee all week - papering the walls of the RV.  The former owner put blue wallpaper over the original walls in the kitchen.  I painted the bedroom walls two years ago right before Dave and I moved in (which was a bad idea because the paper underneath started to bubble).  The bathroom still had the original wall paneling - white with little blue flowers on it - very 1980's.

I never planned on redoing the entire RV but the bedroom paper (Contact Paper from WalMart) went up so easily and it turned out so well that I moved on to the kitchen.  I had some extra paper left over after the kitchen was finished so I began the bathroom.

Now my RV looks cleaner and brighter and coordinated.  The "coffee bar" in the kitchen is actually one of those shelves with the wooden pegs that you can display your plates on.  I turned it upside down!  I found it on my way home from Waffle House with Landon. 

Here are some pictures of my "projects".




The "coffee bar" includes your choice of caramel, chocolate or raspberry syrups!
