I'd love Arthur the white cat comedian to visit--he could rest on the drafting table out of Willie's way.<br /><br />hootin' anni- what fun we retirees have in our hidey holes, right?<br /><br />debs- you caught my room on a good day. I've been de-cluttering, filing and organizing in this cold January.<br /><br />hulagirlatheart- I'm still trying to figure out how to create that wall of postcards. They're all special so I don't want to file away--today there was one from Russia.<br /><br />sandy- my little house has three bedrooms. I only need one so that's how I got my hidey hole. I hope never to have enough people in here to need three bedrooms. :-)<br /><br />storyteller-my office companion is asleep under the desk as I type this.<br /><br />sebastion from China?- wish I could read your comment. Are you a postcarder?<br /><br />lil mouse - found your new link.<br /><br />chrisB - I had a similar retirement experience. Like your mother, my older sister lived with me for a time after she suffered an apartment fire. She's now settled in her own place and I have my bedroom back.<br /><br />pamela-you're right. It's too much trouble to drag out all the watercolor supplies when you just want to paint for awhile.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-35893684699264115592010-01-26T22:43:58.203-05:002010-01-26T22:43:58.203-05:00would love a room to set up and leave projects.

Better to dedicate them to something like crafting so you can leave everything out. Don't worry about the bad link. I tried to figure out how to delete the bad one too--no luck. That learning curve!<br /><br />sayre-with your DIY abilities, I suspect a hidey hole is just around the corner.<br /><br />church lady--I agree. A good dog under foot or desk is the best feeling. Sometimes Willie will thump his tail as he sleeps like "Isn't this nice?"<br /><br />mariposa--I did zoom in and saw a lot of dust so stopped!
