Life is full of lessons. As a forever student and a former teacher, I am continually learning and morphing. Writing random and not so random thoughts help me to focus on lessons and their meanings. Plus, I just love to write.

Not Mellow Yellow
It has been about a month since I last wrote. I have been busy stripping wallpaper from my kitchen walls and painting the walls pineapple cream. In layman's terms, that yellow. We had new cabinets put in the second week of January. It took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to strip the wallpaper. First, I just used a clothes steamer and did about 2 strips in 5 days. Then a friend mentioned a product called Dif and once I scored the wllpapaer with a fancy little disk and sprayed on the dif to help dissolve the paste, voila, I was finished stripping, wallpaper, that is. Then another 2-3 days and the room was complete. Here is a picture. I love the bright yellow and white trim. It is so bright now, that when the lights are on, it looks like the lights are dim in comparison to the walls. Anyway,after 20 years of the same 2 deisgns of wallpaper, it is great to have fresh new walls and cabinets.
