EXTRA SPACE

I don't think it's a big deal. There is very little storage in these apartments. We have ten foot ceilings, but no access above the top shelf in the closets. I have the whole space under my bed jammed. I even have some boxes disguised as small tables. It's not that I have much or need much. But I can't bring myself to throw away things with emotional ties. The rest is easy to eliminate.

Our kitchens are also tiny. We have a "panty" with six selves and a depth that holds to cans. All the space we have is for what you need. There is no room for something you might need or rare occasions. Or for a special items you want for holidays. Open six doors and you see everything. So I don't know why my storage saving plan seems so strange plan seems to strange. What do you use the most. Plates, cutlery, glasses, cups, a fry pan and a pot. So this seems natural. Wash your dishes and put them on the drying rack (no dishwasher). When need need an item take it from the rack, use it and put it in the sink. When you run out of what you need, wash again and start the process over. It is a waste of time to put these items in a cupboard when you need it for something else. I don't why they laugh. I think it's clever.

I have a 4x2 foot drawing of Christ on the cross and it is on display tis weekend at my little church around the corner. I love it when I can display it. It is "The Father's" view of Christ on the cross. You see the three dimensional crown of thorns and shoulders with blood. To his left are two figures — his mother Mary and the disciple John looking up in horror and with love. To his right is a soldier with his back turned. One one side the love and acceptance, or the other is rejection. It is perfect for an Easter weekend when we remember His death on the cross because of His love for us.

We were to have a week of rain. We didn't. but it has been cold. Lots of rain yesterday and today. It may be a rainy Easter, but I will get up and walk through the drops to celebrate the resurrection. Looking forward to it.
