Well, um, er, that's... George. We're not sure what George is. I first got him around 30 years ago in an arrangement given to me by a gentleman named George. So, there you go. George is quite prolific and will grow anywhere you drop him. He's in our flowerbeds, in hanging pots. If a piece falls off the hanging plant, it will grow where it lands. When people want George I just reach down & yank a handful out of the nearest clump -- toss him in a flower bed and he's good to go. Years ago someone told me what he is but I'm afraid I've long since forgotten. I love him, anyway, tho! Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but perhaps someone here can I.D. George for us.

Sounds like you are having a good trip! St. Augustine is a nice area. Did you by chance go into Amelia island? A favorite location of ours. I have a friend in Florida who told me the "love bugs" are now there - have you run into those yet (maybe not in the part you are traveling). Take care - eat well, be safe and have fun!!! Love seeing your pictures. tina

Checking in - have been unpacking stuff that has been waiting for the bedroom closet. With the additional shelves on the sides they are now my linen closet replacement (don't have one in this house) so I'm pretty pleased with this. Now I can move our hanging clothing still in the trailer through the wash and finally home. Happy Happy! And as the boxes leave here, the space is evolving. More items are finding where they belong or don't. I watched another episode of Hoarders today - I know we are all on the right track. I understand the psychology on how things can get out of control when life wallops you, I understand how good it feels when you regain control again instead of letting items take over. We are all different. Our belongings mean different things to each and everyone of us. I want to cherish what brings me joy, memories, are of practical use. Sometimes things change along with their value. Life changes. I want to change with it down the path where I can step freely. Tonight will should be a better sleep not seeing items pushed against the wall because they had no home. Our bathroom feels like heaven when taking a shower because there is room enough not to knock things down, stub my toe. Our kitchen will continue to be a work in progress until we get those cupboards but at least I can choose to have organized storage until then...and hopefully we can both keep it that way. Instead of walking around something that should be put away, I'm going to start picking more up every day. That job is becoming so much less hassle as my space has definition. Clutter brings clutter. Space brings peace. Next week I think will be a great week to clean the windows again to enjoy the sunny days when they arrive. See the snow sparkle at night when it falls. It all starts with one box, one bag, one item. We are doing this. We are empowered. Please share your week with us, ups and downs. Are you feeling better now? Until later, need a cuppa and think about dinner for later. Cheers my friends, Peggy

Thank you all for your feedbacK! (particularly since it was positive :)) I very much like the idea of using the paper cut-outs to get the feel and also to play with patterns, the running pattern would be a second choice. I hadn't quite been thinking in terms of anomalies, but that pretty much sums up my instinct. Because everything else contemplated is pretty minimalist, I was thinking anything less than 16"sq feet would be too busy, not to mention the grout factor - ugh! The last thing I want is the eye drawn to the floor! Thanks again!
