I had been wanting something like that in that spot for years ... well, at one point the pine chest (cedar on the inside) that's now in our living room was in that spot at one time, but it was needed elsewhere. I think that pine chest has lived in at least four different rooms in our house. <br /><br />But I digress. The cedar chest now at the foot of my bed was, I think, my sister's Lane hope chest. It works wonderfully as a gift closet!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38583012.post-21549044323150771592021-01-29T14:30:20.056-05:002021-01-29T14:30:20.056-05:00We consider you an honorary member, Vicki!

I think of the old motto of the post office about neither rain, nor snow, nor gloom of night staying "these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"and I shake my head. Our rural carrier is not that dedicated. In 2019 he ignored, for 2 days running, a package on our porch for which I had scheduled a carrier pickup. We took the package to the PO ourselves then and complained. In 2020 anytime there was (apparently) "too much snow", he appears to not even have gone out on his route that day. Not on our part of it, anyway.<br /><br />Your mom's gift dresser -- yes, that's what my mom had as well. And I can state definitively that she never came to the end of her stash, because it was still there when we cleaned out the house!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38583012.post-18631583585110651292021-01-29T10:28:21.774-05:002021-01-29T10:28:21.774-05:00Can I just say I LOVE your Christmas club!

I don't believe that she ever came to the end of her gift stash. <br /><br />I went to the mailbox two days ago, the 27th, and found a Christmas card from my auntie who lives in Maryland. It had been mailed on the 20th of December. I was very happy to have it, but I think the USPS is falling down on the job. Their story is that covid wiped out entire mailing centers. Smells fishy to me. <br /><br />You are all so very organized. Well done! <br /><br /><br />Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
