I still loved meeting you and treasure the memory of your visit. I remember those same days....Our house btw has an extra parlor with a fancy mirror and all. It is not employed in its intended use.<br /><br />Jacqueline, there are so many things more interesting than cleaning the same things over and over again. Before so many people lived here I used audio books and music through my headphones to make the job more bearable. However now I am always interrupted so many times that I have given up on that. I am sure I worry about nothing and am not even noticed but....threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-69600879991918235282016-11-04T11:45:55.065-04:002016-11-04T11:45:55.065-04:00Oh, how I relate!

I just can't rid myself of shame over my messy house, nor can I convince myself that cleaning it is more important than going out for a walk in nature's just-as-untidy home. I certainly never judge my friends by the state of their housekeeping, so why do I imagine they judge me for mine?Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-71954596400620549892016-11-03T19:01:03.694-04:002016-11-03T19:01:03.694-04:00I always loved visiting a home as a family friend ...I always loved visiting a home as a family friend that didn't have to be redd up for. I may have spelled 'redd up' wrong, but that was what one did for the preacher, teacher or bosses that may have scheduled a stop by to see how things were going. The conversations were as heart felt as the preparation time spent trying to put a good face on the home. <br /> Ever had a visitor's parlor? You were early middle class when you had an extra room to be kept perfect for whomever dropped by. By my baby boomer youth, the union workers were investing in homes that had a perfect living room, the kids and family hung out in the kitchen and familyroom in the basement, and if one were to be really tacky, the clear plastic covers never came off that furniture until the President visited.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794620086508373660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-40639441608255370502016-11-03T17:02:53.266-04:002016-11-03T17:02:53.266-04:00My house is always a mess...there just seems to be...My house is always a mess...there just seems to be other things I more enjoy doing than CLEANING a house.<br /><br />LindaTerry and Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016496778254072639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-42638071965526970522016-11-03T15:08:49.628-04:002016-11-03T15:08:49.628-04:00There is just no doubt that our minds connect in w...There is just no doubt that our minds connect in ways we have yet to understand.<br />I'll bet he didn't mind the mess at all :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-2498739390055262512016-11-03T14:17:00.036-04:002016-11-03T14:17:00.036-04:00I never judge how people's houses look if the...I never judge how people's houses look if there is a friendship going.
