That happens with me with Rog, SRS. He shoves my stuff to the back when he puts in whatever he has cooked up for himself for the week and I forget I've got a whole new packet of fresh strawberries until they go bad or I go "mining" for a snack!:-)

The trunk I was talking about, which didn't go to the closet, btw, we didn't have room, either, had been in my LR for years and years as a low coffee table. It's too big and heavy, though, and I tired of it always being laden with stuff that had to be moved every time I wanted to get into it, so it went against a wall in our bedroom, with a chair in front of it, which will work out okay for now. It does have a crate of our son's LPs on it, but those are easily moved. Trunks do make great end/lamp tables, too. We did get the table moved out of the office and the library truck went back to that room, but over in the corner now so it's not in the way as it was before. Now all I have to do is figure out where to put everything which wound up piled on my desk..all the jewellery making supplies, more books, ebay stuff, stacking racks for the office, papers to be filed (it's a BIG desk) and a few odds and end. My goal is to get the laptop set up again in there with a regular monitor and track ball, plus have the jewellery stuff to hand should the mood strike. I think I can do that by bringing the ebay stuff out to the rest of the boxes in the LR under the bookshelves and filing a bunch of other stuff as well as get rid of a lot. It will feel so good to have the office back in order, again.

We've had a "cold" front move in, no snow like you, Alice, thank goodness, but nippy this morning and a beautiful, breezy 70s/low80s with sun and a few clouds. Just gorgeous! Yesterday and Sat. were in the 90s.

SRS, forgot to say I put those photos in the album at the myopera link posted before.
