I don't cover the desktop with envelopes and paper and larger items. I keep pens, paper clips and elastics and tiny things like that piling up on the desk. A small desk doesn't create the kind of space that these small things need. But that is just me. On a desk, one pen would not make it messy looking, but a dozen pens might. In any case, because of my affection for...
The face of exploitation is often a familiar face who comes into a senior's world during times of fragility. These faces often exploit intentionally, as if to "kick a horse when it is down." The senior may be having health or memory challenges, or simply cannot handle the upkeep of a large home; along comes some vulture-like creatures. While some of these faces are familiar, others are strangers who appear for a one-time encounter. Exploitation always wears an expression of selfishness, insensitivity, or greed that can be masked with kindness, but will eventually show its true colors. Those mischief makers could be stopped dead in their tracks if the senior, or boomer children, had knowledge of what...

Visualize an almost-secret space in your garden, a secluded sanctuary, even spiritual, where you can sit, stare, sleep, think, read, or sip tea. Everyone deserves such a secluded spot. And it must be a separate place where you cannot see the garden chores staring at you, but one which gives you a stunning view of your flowers, the ocean, a stream, or the woods. Seriously consider a small place, surrounded by something substantial: a lattice-covered wall behind you with climbing honeysuckle or jasmine or sweet peas to stir your olfactory senses. Or use the side of your potting shed or barn or other outbuilding away from snoopy visitors or silly kids and then enclose with trellis or lean-to. You want...

A very popular form of lighting nowadays is vintage lamps. But what determines whether something qualifies as vintage. It seemed to be differently defined though wherever I searched. That confused me a bit. Anything between 20 and 80 years seems to be the common consensus as to the meaning of vintage for a table lamp.

There does appear to be a different explanation though depending on the actual item. Something that would be considered vintage sooner would be wine. Returning to table lamps, vintage ones will be perfect and look excellent...
