Home Improvement - condo style

Storage is premium. I purged and purged from the house of 30 years. I am purging more. There are years of stuff to let go of.

But there is some stuff that you have to have. That includes towels and sheets for a two bedroom unit and impending guests. 

There is this space above the master bath toilet that isn't worth decorating. So I installed shelves to hold my towels and washcloths. I need a couple of baskets to make it look nicer.  

Thank goodness for having a Dremel tool. Wire shelves come in 36" length and the space was 35 1/2". Dremel with a grinder tool works wonders.

Having these shelves frees up space in the linen closet for the bedding.

  

Oregon - Jill's Birthday

 Made another trip to Oregon to see my dearest friend, Jill. It had been over a year since I travelled by plane and that trip was also to Oregon.

This trip was to attend Jill's cousin's wedding and celebrate Jill's 65th birthday.

I flew into Medford where Jill picked me up. Spent the night in Ashland then we drove to Bend, Oregon. It is only a few hours to Bend but we stopped in Rogue River Gorge (you will have to ask about Prospector Bob) and Crater Lake.

Photos do not do Crater Lake justice. It is a place you have to see and experience. We got to use my birthday present from Jill, a National Parks Senior Pass.

On to Bend via Oregon 97...very straight road through the high desert. The photos make our trip look very green and lush but we went through a good deal of desert-like areas and also burned out forests. In some places the entire forest has been burned to nothing.

The cousin's wedding was beautiful. Bend is beautiful.
