I haven't posted a blog in 4 months. Opps. You know what I've been doing? Reading Jane Austen. LAME. And watching the movies. Sheesh. Oh, and helping to clean out nana's house. Nana shuffled off her mortal coil some months back, not unexpectedly at all. I had kind of been looking forward to helping clean out her house. Of course I thought it would be full of wonderful crafty treasures. How deluded of me. Most of her delightful 70's polyester clothing was gone. :-( I suppose she must of had a clean-out back when she first found out she was sick, thinking she would save us all some trouble.
So although it is taking endless sundays to get through all the stuff and all the cleaning, I'm not digging up much crafty stuff. Just boxes of nice mementos of grandma. ~ An Oroton coin purse, a wind-up bedside clock, the "good" cutlery (actually that plasticy handled stuff), a large paua shell ring, a book of 365 Puddings, The Singer Illustrated Dressmaking Guide, etc.
Tomorrow I'm thinking about being a grown-up, and doing something quite grown up. That is, going to look at a 1/2 acre of land that I might actually be able to afford. The drawback, of course, is that it's down near Huntly,(What's wrong with Huntly?), and some of the section is pretty steep looking. But the up side is that the Waingaro hot springs are nearby, it's cheap, elevated, and faces north. ;-) Of course, there is no house on the section (yet), but there was one there, because there is a water tank and power lines.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to be a grown-up.
