You truly inspire whenever I read your blog and others on here. I have still not find the time or energy to strt a blog...and my chemo brain (& there is truly such as all taking it can attest to). so many wonderful stories you inspire, make me laugh and sometimes bring a tear to my eye with your memories which I can relate to.
"May God always help us to make memories in January so we can remember in December.

My brain must be working funny today. When I got to your rooster cabinet and I read the words, "I killed two birds..." the first thought that popped into my mind was, Oh no, the poor rooster! rofl Then I read the rest of the sentence. You have some beautiful things! No wonder they are your favorites, especially that roses glass because it was a gift to you from your children.
