AuntieSins, I tried to get a video of him "composing" new music, yesterday, but he didn't want to "make a movie" so maybe next time, esp. after his bow is re-haired and he can give me more of a concert.:-)

That is REALLY good news about maeve and TL!!

Well, we woke up not sure of what we were going to do, today, except for the usual. I was a bit tired and not ready to get moving, even after breakfast, so I asked Rog to take me for a ride up on the palisades where there are a lot of orchards and vineyards. Usually we just go, drive, come back, no stopping. This time, I asked him to be sure to stop at a wildlife viewing area hiking trail, when we got to it. Whilst riding I took a lovely little nap. The day is gorgeous, bright famous Colorado sunshine, slight breeze whispering in the trees, birds and crickets singing away. We got to the trail, I put the O2 bag on my shoulders like a backpack, put the leash on the dog, and off we went. I managed a good 15 minute hike down a very steep trail and back up! I didn't know if I'd ever be able to such a thing, again, in my life. Before surgery and these past five years have been such a struggle with poor muscle tone and feet I couldn't walk on for so long. I am thrilled to bits I was able to do this AND without having to catch my breath at all. The only thing that stopped me, for just a few seconds, was my leg muscles hurting a little bit, but it was a good hurt, the kind that tells you, you are USING those muscles and it feels like PROGRESS.:-)

We then came home, I got a recipe book wooden holder my granddad made out of the office. Washed it up and decided I wanted to put it on the kitchen counter. There was no room, so I cleaned out two shelves under the counter, closest to the washer/dryer, the catchall shelves where all kinds of things get thrown for storage. They are deep and dark.*bg* I found a bag with two new dropcloths and a bunch of new sponge paintbrushes (those shutters WILL get painted!), a bag of clothespins, various cleaning supplies, spray paint, and a few other things. Some of it was boxed up and taken to storage for a yard sale or giveaway. I washed down the shelves and stacked things back, including a plastic drawer unit I bought earlier this year for the counter clutter! So, it is now tucked on the easier to reach shelf, the laundry detergent is put off the counter to the shelf, also and we can actually find stuff now. Plus I can now display my granddad's handiwork even though I never use my cookbooks.:-)

But, wait, there's more! I asked Rog if we had any shelving in storage from when we had more bookcases up and if we did, if he'd put them up in the office. I need to empty my desk back there and need shelves for Etsy/ebay stuff until it sells. By now it was getting close to lunchtime and usually Rog has Sunday afternoon OFF from honey-dooze, etc. He was sweet enough to find some shelves, then:

We went to the hardware store
To get the metal things
To mount on the wall
Which hold the brackets
Which hold the shelves
Which Rog found!

Phew! Then, he put them up for me! So, I will be able to empty my desk, get things more organised and begin to make jewellery again as I will have the desk space to do so.

Here it is almost 230p and time to play a bit, maybe sweep a little and take it easy. Rog is chuckling over something in 2nd Life and life is good. I am very proud of us both, today!
