My cave

Man caves are all the rage with a get away for masculine activities.A mom cave I would retreat from the world for a little down time away from the hubbub of a house full of children.My room is now my cave.. It is not tidy but is not chaos.

Some of the things I’m most grateful for are here.

Books -Ones I’ve loved. Ones I’m reading .Ones to be read. Some for info . Some for fun.

Bookmarks I save cards I’ve received as bookmarks.

My laptop Aqua blue and hard working is connects me to people and things and educates me. It’s screensaver says Good morning.

My bed (hubby’s too at night) how delightful to nap or meditate or pray upon it

A box of tissues by my bed

A kitty sleeping at the head (She thinks this is her cave)

On my dresser are my polar bears One two three four

A decoration with part by each grandchild.

Pens and paper because inspiration may strike or necessity may arise

My clothes. I am so blessed to have such choice.

Sigh! I need to chose some clothes and go into the downstairs and outside world but I’ll be back and my cave will be waiting!

 

Gratitude for so many blessings!

The rose-breasted grosbeaks have been here since the beginning of Summer. Hooray!

Our new kitchen table and chairs are terrific. The chairs look like art!

The morning glories are going to bloom soon!

Loving my black eyed Susan vining hanging basket.

Just added blue glass discs and green glow in the dark stones to the stones beside the driveway. It looks like a fairy garden at night!!! Yahoo!

Loving my purple ballon flowers — so tough that they grew in a neglected pot in the garage in the dark!! Then I put them in a place of honor, added fabulous pink petunias and oh boy, they have been blooming all Summer long! Wow!

Just home from Ocean City, Maryland — a wonderful family vacation including jewelry making, coloring, counted cross stitch, and reading. And of course, the beach! It was a tough job but somebody had to do it!
