We may not be as fancy as Mom and Dad, but we were busy with our laundry "room" (ok, it's a closet) as well! This was my Valentine's present and it made me very happy!!!

This is the before...we tore out the rickety old shelves that blocked the washer lid and did not go all the way to the wall: i.e. everything fell off the sides! Grrr!!
Ta-da! Finally some decent and functional storage.

MUSINGS FROM MOM

This is a cute quote by Erma Bombeck: “I always had a dream that when I am asked to give an accounting of my life to a higher court, it will go like this: ‘So, empty your pockets. What have you got left of your life? Any dreams that were unfulfilled? Any unused talent that we gave you when you were born that you still have left? Any unsaid compliments or bits of love that you haven’t spread around?’“And I will answer, ‘I’ve nothing to return.. I spent everything you gave me.’”
