More Red House Ramblings

 You have at least one junk drawer, don't you?  In your kitchen, home office, den, etc?

We had 3 in the old house and somehow all the contents ended up in this one (1) "I'd forgotten it was even there" drawer in the kitchen.  We must have thrown out a busload of stuff, eh?

 

Soon after we moved into the Red House Peter realized he'd misplaced/lost his book of authors.  We both have one with an alphabetized list of authors and the titles of the books we've read so we don't keep checking out the same books over and over again.  You've done that before, haven't you?  Haven't you?

We looked everywhere - at least 3 times.  Couldn't imagine where that darned thing got to. 

We knew we'd eventually find it and we did but not before poor Petey brought two books home for the Holland library he'd already read.  

Guess where we (Petey) found it.  Yup, that junk drawer!

Whew.

Next rambling has to do with birds.  I thought I was really going to miss the bird action we had in Allegan because of the lack of trees here at the Red House.  I was a bit sad about that but knew going in things were going to be different.

Well, we have a variety of birds here but a few less.  No chickadees or nuthatches but we have kildeer.  They're helping to fill the bird void.  I love those guys and they're everywhere!

Last rambling:  I love Holland but there's no Jazzercise here.  I've been a Jazzerciser for 30 years and loved the classes and have had the same instructor, Brenda Pearson, for the entire time.

How was I going to survive?  Well, Jazzercise has an online/app that has saved my butt.  Literally.  I tune in 6 mornings a week and am so, so grateful. With the plethora of restaurants here it is helping me "fight the spread." 

It's not the same and never will be.  Hanging with my Jazz peeps in Allegan was always the highlight of my day but . . . . 

So, now you're pretty much up to date with life at the Red House.
