A favorite cupboard

My old step-back cupboard is a favorite of mine. Annie and I sat in the dining-room, me on a chair, her on the cupboard :-b, and I came to the realization that it is time to start packing up the dishes.

                          "Oh dear me, that will be a big job. I'll help after we have tea."

"OK, Annie. Tea it is."

Annie loves to see the tea-pot come out. It means she'll have a lap to sit on for awhile and maybe a taste of a cheddar cheese scone with butter.

*grin*

Packing is not fun. I have to measure the coach-house apt. wall next week to see if this wonderful old piece of furniture will even fit. If not, my daughter will loan me her cabinet and this will stay here until the house is built. I hope it comes with me now as it provides me with much comfort and fun when decorating. It has become as comfortable as an old friend.

Christmas posts are popping up now. This is my favorite time to read blogs and I expect I will be living vicariously through them since I doubt there will be much decorating done at my home. I asked the retired guy if he thought we could fit a Christmas tree into the little mouse house this year. He said if not we'll put one in the garage. Lord... have mercy!
