I suspect that Ricky will now get a lot of forum members offering to drop by and tidy up her basement for her, in hopes of finding hidden electronic treasure.  |
Oh, for certain .... no one would EVER call me "submissive." Introverted, yes ... extremely, but submissive?? Not ... on ... your .... life!
Oh man .... the basement (which isn't really a "basement" ... but I like the sound of that), has furniture, electronics ... just masses of stuff. Some day ... I keep telling myself, I will get the stuff organized, and turn the carriage house into a studio and additional guest room ... like I ever have much in the way of guests.
But, it would be nice to have the brass bed set up in there for overflow when we have refugees up from Houston or Galveston or New Orleans. Somewhere that people can just set their heads down in relative comfort and safety while their homes are blowing or washing away.
Right now, it is jammed with "stuff" .... some stuff I would like to use someday (like all of my quilting fat quarters ... arranged by spectral quality), or display (like all of my Disney pins, and original Disney studio drawings -- my Aunt Comfort was one of the Disney artists in the 1930s ... she worked on Snow White), or my HO trains and models (I worked really hard on those models ... and it would be so nice to actually get to set them up and RUN the trains ... which I can't do in the house because the cats would utterly destroy them).
