How sad. Hadn't realised he was responsible for you starting a blog all those years ago - we are dinosaurs now - haven't been over for a while but thought I'd just drop in to say hi as saw your name on Gone Back South and remember all those times you had to advise me!

I love purple fuzzy gloves! :)
Hanging stuf...Yeah! I love purple fuzzy gloves! :)<br /><br />Hanging stuff on the backs of chairs, I think I am guilty of the same. In my mind it helps to keep the table free for table stuff. Great logic right?<br /><br />Solving the great explosion of stuff on pegs....oh boy. Secretly I think that the more we try to organize it the more it wants to run away from us because we get more and more stuff. lol But I do love the lower pegs solution. When my girls were younger I had a lower coat rack (an expandable shower rod) in our coat closet so it would be more tempting to hang up their belongings.<br /><br />I am so glad you are able to spend so much time with your grand children. I know it is a blessing.<br /><br />Have a blessed and wonderful day today.Jules~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13732679095832415575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-83278463877853379682011-01-28T15:49:01.415+00:002011-01-28T15:49:01.415+00:00No suggestions at all from me, but I know you enjo...No suggestions at all from me, but I know you enjoy the girls who are responsible for all these "decorations!"Dimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313315926201426600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-3031971707767121032011-01-28T11:29:49.169+00:002011-01-28T11:29:49.169+00:00What adorable traces of your little grand-kids.What adorable traces of your little grand-kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-662455210030687672011-01-28T09:24:38.357+00:002011-01-28T09:24:38.357+00:00When i tidy i can find things either!

But after they've been here even for a day, I always find little things in the oddest places, and it always makes me smile. One grandson sometimes leaves his shoes here--you'd think that would be something he wouldn't forget:)<br /><br /><br />Looks like you might get those lower pegs very soon!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-46308804550402584252011-01-27T14:11:33.963+00:002011-01-27T14:11:33.963+00:00I have much the same problem here too!

We have both sides of the walls in the entrance-way to the house studded with little knobs on which to hang coats and stuff, plus a coat closet is there too but one particular adult in this household seems to never be able to find a place to hang her many coats/jackets and relys on the dining room chair backs for that! The kids, I can understand, as the pegs are still a bit too high for them to reach, but daughter is an inch and a half taller than me and yet....well, you get the picture there, I'm sure. So much for lead by example, huh?Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-41436480518836313532011-01-27T14:09:51.441+00:002011-01-27T14:09:51.441+00:00More pegs, or a low shelf, maybe one with baskets?...More pegs, or a low shelf, maybe one with baskets?
