With my free time I am doing minor misc. projects. One of them is switching my warm weather clothes from the master bedroom to the spare bedroom and bringing long sleeve cold weather clothes to take their place. I am wondering if my method is shared by any of you? I take 6 individual shirts from their hangers and I stack-layer them onto one sturdy hanger.View attachment 671135

This frees up a bunch of individual hangers for the long sleeve shirts. I just repeat this process until all shirts have been swapped. ANYONE ELSE HANDLE IT THAT WAY? IF NOT, WHAT IS YOUR METHOD?View attachment 671136

Steve, your method is brilliant!! We also switch over closets for summer and winter, but we just have A LOT OF HANGERS.

Although I do ascribe to the wise words of Joan Crawford--"no wire hangers"!!! 🤣 We have a mishmash of plastic hangers and those very flat "velvet" hangers.

I recall a few weeks ago that you showed off your wife's fall decor, and I am very very late because I've been traveling, but I thought maybe you wouldn't mind if I shared mine as well. I do love fall decor.


This is the windowsill of the bay window over my kitchen sink. I'm big into "candlescaping", I have way too many candles and candleholders for a normal person.

And this is the mantel over my fireplace in the living room.

I know you don't want to see my closets, so I won't share those. :D

I'm heading back to Dublin on Oct 28 to have my mom's first anniversary mass in her hometown with her surviving sisters and my cousins, and I will give your regards to Ireland. ;)

I very much enjoyed reading your post.
Your fall decor is awesome!
I hope you have a wonderful reunion with your family in Ireland.

What caught my eye was the attractive window treatment over the bay windows -- perfect choice. Love the blue band, at the bottom of the white gathered fabric. ❤️

Oh, the autumn decorations are nice, too! :joyfull:

All my window treatments (what we used to call curtains :D) are from JC Penney.

The bay window wasn't there when we bought the house, and I hadn't particularly yearned for one, but when we were putting in new windows I decided that the area over my sink needed a bay window. :)

The fireplace was non-negotiable, I had to have one. The one thing that would have been on my dream home that I didn't get was a front porch, but I do love my house and we've been very happy here for 25 years. Now, though, we have to think about downsizing. We still love the house, but it's a lot of upkeep and we're not getting any younger!

In an outstanding coincidence, my husband is presently driving himself batty trying to program the set of LED light bulbs he bought at Costco today. :rolleyes:

Thanks to your list, while shopping he was wearing his old Program Director jacket from his college radio days. ;)

Oh dear, you’re going to be very disappointed when I give you your gift this year then. I am too lazy for bows and ribbons.

Goodness, I used to do a different wrapping theme every year, with at least 2 (often 3) different gift wraps that fit the theme. I remember the pine cone year. Both (or maybe there were 3) gift wrap prints featured pine cones, and I tied an actual pine cone (at least one, more if they were smaller) onto each package.

Then there was the year I found gift wrap with a Christmas cookies pattern. Everyone got a cookie cutter attached to their largest gift (the rest just had coordinating bows, one color to a person).

After a few years of this nonsense, I realized absolutely no one appreciated all the effort I put into my themed wrapping, and so I stopped. Now I just use up all the bits of gift wrap I accumulated over the years, though I still try to do each person gets their own pattern (makes it easy to identify which packages belong to whom), and I still put ribbons even on the smallest packages.

If you like to get the benefits of pomegranate juice get the Cranberry/pomegranate Juice (Ocean Spray or equivalent. It is much sweeter but not overpoweringly sweet and both are known antioxidants.

I typically use it in my smoothies but ran out of orange juice so I tried it. I also use it as a mixer…wait for it…

And the cranberry/pomegranate tastes a little better with vodka than just pomegranate. 😜🤪

With vodka and seltzer 😂

Yeah, we'd have to win big in the lottery to afford the kind of house I dream of. Not particularly big, though I do want to have at least 4 bedrooms....1 for us, one for each of the kids, plus a guest room which could double as my craft room when we don't have guests. But I'd need someone to clean it, because a housekeeper I am not, and I have a job alongside of all the housekeeping duties, which I do myself. So unless we win enough to buy the house AND pay someone to come in and clean it, it's never going to happen.

We have told our daughter that she's not allowed to move more than half a kilometer away from us because I'd miss her too much, and we like to go walking through this neighborhood across the road from ours. That neighborhood is basically like snob hill...it's got all the really nice houses with beautiful landscaping, and cool architectural features, and they are all stand alone houses, not row houses. So we've picked out her future house when she's rich from some invention or discovery she makes and I can come visit whenever I want, but I promise to call first. 😂 In all seriousness though, she's basically a junior in high school and she's quite the nerd, so whatever she decides to do, she has the potential to do well for herself, and she desperately wants bay windows in her house someday. I don't know why, but that's just like...the dream, the measure of success. If she can afford a house with bay windows, she's made it.

I do the one pattern to a person thing with gift wrapping. So much easier when handing them out.

Hi friends! I created a separate thread on the Chit Chat Forum. It is called "Letchworth State Park". I am in a hotel with no laptop so I cannot put a link here at the moment. Yet here is an incentive for you to find it on your own....View attachment 671745a sample photo..

I AM home now. I'm NOT excited to attend Professional Day in my school district tomorrow. I'd much rather have a normal day teaching my students.
ANYWAY....here IS a link to my weekend seeing Fall Foliage and waterfalls at Letchworth State Park....

Letchworth State Park

Letchworth State Park in New York State covers approx 17 miles. It has the nickname: GRAND CANYON of the EAST.
