One.
I really loved reading
this article! It's about an old farmhouse that was in such bad condition that it couldn't be salvaged, some people bought it and recreated it to try to make it as much like its original self as they could...while also making it updated to fit modern needs. The end result was beautiful!

I've enjoyed seeing how different people have gone about organizing their masks. We are perfecting our mask organization to make sure we have an adequate supply in all the places we need them. I don't know that it's 100% perfect yet, but it's getting there. I really enjoyed the ideas in
this post, too! She has a good system going on!

Ryan's mom and step-dad LOVED shopping for antiques. They lived (and his step-dad does still live) in that beautiful log cabin, and they had so many gorgeous old pieces that looked like they were just made for that house. I'm not a big antique shopper, but we do have a handful of older pieces that belonged to my grandparents. I love them more for their story than their spot on the antique list. But I do have to say, the idea of having a proper old card catalog kind of piece (someday) is delightful to me. I love, love, love that thought. So when I saw several pieces in
this post, I got all melty inside. How about you? Do you love antiques or not so much?

My sister sent me
this article...about apartments in New York libraries. They're abandoned now, but they used to house the families that kept the coal furnaces running in the libraries. Can you imagine living in a LIBRARY??? (sigh of joy....) Judging from the outside, I don't think the Grabill library has an apartment in it. If so, it's well masked.

I know some of you are homeschooling for the first time, or you're trying to be prepared if your kids' classes move (even temporarily) to home for a quarantine, or some of you are doing e-learning through the school. I found this post
https://primaryplayground.net/snack-ideas-for-the-alphabet/ with some great ideas for alphabetical snacks! If you're working with preschool or younger grades, this might be a perfect thing to work in to your days! Or...you know...if you're an adult who is trying to remember the alphabet and likes snacks...

How have I not heard of
this trail before? Hey Ryan! Wanna try it?

My old apartment, the kitchen was right by the front door so I used a kitchen knob for hanging masks. Now I have a basket by the door!
I have not gone antique shopping in years. But, I have plenty of antiques from my family, including a China cabinet with curved glass. I also have the bedroom set that my great grandparents got for their wedding. My grandpa and all his brothers and sisters were born in the bed that I have! I also have the dresser and wash stand that go with the set.
I really like that state-themed website, and I’m sure you’re hooked on that house website!
Well I feel ahead of the curve! I have a rack just behind my front door that has been uses for students coats and bookbags. As soon as we switched to teaching online and masks appeared in my daily life, its turned into my mask rack! I hang them to dry there as well after hand washing them.
I totally didn't think about how the kids were going to transport clean masks to school and dirty ones home... Ooops...
OH MY GOSH -- I want to live in a library apartment! How amazing would that be?!?!? But I do understand the space is becoming a premium for the library itself to use but still...
And that trail post makes me want to get some hiking in. That would be a fun adventure for you and Ryan!
