Steps, Basement Finds and Lily Bit

 With the passing of

Chey, I finally went into

my bedroom and took apart

the stairs I made so she

could get on my high bed.

To make life easier, I laid

a rug runner over the stairs.

With the rug backing the runner

stayed in place. That allowed

me to be able to take

it off and wash it.

By taking it a part I 

acquired some extra

wood. With the prices of wood,

I have no problem reusing this wood.

I was in the basement looking

for something the other day

and saw this in one of the 

boxes.

I packed it downstairs when I 

was cleaning out mom's house.

I packed up things that I knew each 

grand child gave mom as well as 

pics of their kids. This was made

by my nephew. I had this stuff

packed up in 2019 for him to 

pick up. He has yet to arrive.

So, I decided storage fee!

Chase will not care but I did

want them to have it back, but

apparently, he did not care.

Along with the clock, years ago

he made this chopping block

for mom. I decided I would bring it up

and put in the kitchen.

And the one below, my younger

brother made this one for me,

oh so many, many years ago. 

It did not have the outer border around it

but with me actually using it, and washing

it, the glue did not hold up too well. 

So, way back then, Mark put the border

around it for me to help hold it all

together. I stopped using it then but

I have never put it away and it has

set on my counter since. 

I would say, that I have had this

for almost 40 yrs. 

I do need to get some food grade

mineral oil to coat both pieces

so they will cont to hold up for 

many more years to come. 

Lily Bit and I were playing yesterday

when she decided she had 

enough.

The cool floor must feel good

after play!

I love the way she flips over,

shows that belly and tucks 

her paws. Isn't that such

a pretty coat?

My multicolor kitty.

Thank you for stopping in,
