So we’ve been getting outside on our front porch roof by 6 AM to paint the trim above and below the seven 2nd floor windows. So sorry you haven’t been feeling well!

I have two boxes and two bags for donation. * I’ve spent a few hours a day going through every part of our main floor – every drawer, shelf, box and bin.
