Yesterday I whomped up enough energy to "tie into" some housekeeping that I have put off for three years. Vaccuuming the tops of the ....whatever they are and wiping down the Roseville Pottery. When I saw this house I decided that it was the one I would choose because it would feature my husbands collection of Roseville Pottery perfectly. Of course I never thought of the task of cleaning. In three rooms there are walls that don't go all the way to the ceiling and make perfect places for the Roseville. In each bedroom the closets don't go all the way to the ceiling and are shelves above instead. (It is hard to describe but hopefully a picture or two will show you what I mean. I climbed up on a ladder to vaccuum the landings? (maybe that is what they are called) and wipe down the Roseville. After working in the garden a while, digging up Burmuda grass, then coming in the house when it got too hot to work in the sun, I started chasing the dust Jackrabbits. I cleaned the ceiling fan, blades and light globes then attacked one of the landings. Up and down the ladder I went (not very fast) and I got one side of the one in the picture, hopefully to finish this particular landing today. It is in the kitchen and the other side is the entertainment room. In the days coming, I will show you the collection of Roseville. That is, if my energy holds up.
There is also a picture of a nice sunset a few evenings ago.

No wonder Uncle Carl loves you so much. How many sisters would hang up their brothers childhood art work? That old owl is older than I am! Kala will probably have something of Sam's up many years from now.
I know what you mean about the high places. I call them ledges. We have one in most every room. It's easy to forget about them because they are so high up. Let's see now, how long has it been since I cleaned up there? I'd rather not think about it.
Your collection of Roseville is so pretty. I remember it from when you lived in Scottsdale.
When we remodeled our kitchen, I acquired some "high places" above the cabinets for displaying things.....and I love it (even though, no, I don't dust up there very often). You are fortunate to have such places in many rooms!
I have one Roseville crock.....it has a four-leafed clover on it and says "Rose Fresh....Marmalade".....Roseville, Ohio".
Your idea of "dust jackrabbits" is clever!!
Beth, that old owl was created while Carl was in college. It is fortunate that I have it. Most of his artwork was washed away with his house in the flood in Idaho.
Jeanelle: I am going to have to look that pattern up. I have many patterns and don't even remember that one.......Connie
That's too bad! I know that painting very well. It's funny the things you remember... I still have that little tile memorized about "Thank You, God for dirty dishes..." Tell Becky to look at your blog or all my # 1 daughter comments will be wasted! :)
