    Happy Monday - have you ever been to Sweden! Or do you own a cabin? 👋🏼😁A quick tour of our cozy Swedish cabin...if you saw Friday's video, you'll know that we've had a stressful few days because our Swedish neighbours had a house fire. Everyone is fine but a lot of material damage. Miraculously our property is unscathed! We bought our cabin back in the summer of 2012 and use it often...

      Happy Monday, Diane! Way back in 1981 I made a day trip to Sweden, taking the ferry from Helsingor, and had a picnic in an astonishingly beautiful beech forest. We don't have beech trees where I live. The reality was so much more awe-inspiring than I had imagined from reading books... the light coming through the layers of tender green leaves... aaah! Loved your tour, thank you!

    I'm so glad no one was hurt, and you sustained no damage to your cabin! Last summer our daughter's next-door neighbor's home was struck by lightning, and the subsequent fire caused considerable damage. My daughter and son-in-law were temporarily evacuated, and some of the siding on their home melted, but it could've been so much worse! Very grateful everyone is safe!

    I continue in the declutter mindset, and have two small boxes ready for the charity shop. Two pairs of shoes, a couple of shirts, and several home decor items.
    It's Memorial Day in my country, and I'm thinking of my platoon-mate, Herring, who died when we were on a field manuver in the spring of 1975.

    I am so happy that your beloved cabin is okay. I have houseguests coming this week and found myself to be a bit anxious this morning. I have been spending my mornings in the gardens, and the house was not up to snuff. I asked myself, "What would Diane do?" You guessed it...I set my trusty timer and got to work. My home was not so far off as I thought thanks to my routines. You really have inspired me to keep up with things and to use small segments of time wisely. Thank you so much!🦋

I've made one pass through it already, but I'll put it aside for a few weeks before I go through everything again to see what else I can depart with. Thanks for sharing your cozy cabin with us!

We also visited Malmo for a day by train during our trip to Copenhagen in December - was very excited to go across “The Bridge” Today I’m decluttering our dvd drawer and I’m staring to listen to our CD collection again and declutter them .

Our area was hit by 3 tornadoes early Sunday morning and some of our friends’ homes were heavily damaged. Thankfully our friends were not hurt. We pulled 12 boxes out of our closet (they’ve been in there since we moved here in 2022). We decluttered down and were able to empty 8 of the 12 boxes! It always feels so good to get the clutter out!
