Very few things in this world make my heart pound like having more space for BOOKS!! This bookshelf is a new addition to our bedroom today.
We had our carpets cleaned and stretched this last week. That meant taking Everything off the carpets in every room. Our tiled bathrooms, laundry, and main floor hardwood areas were stacked and piled with furniture, bedding, and mounds of all of our stuff. That stuff included my book piles from almost every room. I think John liked seeing the carpet under them so much, he consented to adding another bookshelf!
Life is good.
Everything you’ve shared has warmed and cheered my heart after a very HARD DAY yesterday. Flood # 13 in the basement … after a 2-year “breather….” But it’s BAD — I’ve got boxes packed for moving and lots of precious “stuff and things” down there. THANK GOODNESS the books are off the floor!! This is a MAJOR set-back … but I have to count my blessings. My nephew James was here with 2 friends (they’re starting a business and I’m going to give them a LOT OF STUFF) … so they helped grab boxes and put them in other places… and if we hadn’t gone down in the basement I don’t know how long it would have been before I discovered the flood………………………………………. My 2 hymns this morning (I LOVE reading the words of hymns each morning… 2 or 3 or 4 or so) were “Lead, Kindly Light” and “I Need Thee Every Hour……” (That was PLANNED, don’t you think??). Life! Full of surprises! I’ve enjoyed some surprises more than others…. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I love your new book case! I love the picture of your little grandson… SO COOL!! I love the engineers who are helping with DfG, and the sweet soul who saved “tons” of fabric for you!!! Mostly I LOVE *YOU!!!!!* ❤ Melon 🍉
Ann-Do you do presentations to Young Women groups? I am in Lehi and we want our Young Women to learn about Days for Girls. I saw your YouTube video and loved it, I could show that to our girls but felt like I should ask if you do presentations. You present the info so beautifully. Thank you 🙂
Sorry to be so slow responding to your question. It got buried in my piles! I do speak to groups when I’m able. My email is annlewis@byu.net. Let’s talk!
