Pictures of Precious is the theme of Story Telling Sunday this year. Sian at High in the Sky has suggested that something precious doesn’t have to be close.
…and there’s a thought for you: if you are having trouble thinking of something close, there is nothing to stop you reaching further afield. Maybe your Precious this month is something you enjoy from a distance?
Friday evening and I am still struggling Sian. I have a busy day planned tomorrow.
I asked myself “Could people make it to our precious list?” I answered myself “No, I think it’s a given that the people I love are very precious and making a page or story about one or all or heavens above, what if I forgot one?? Oh no far too many complications.
Saturday morning and I still don’t have a story for Sunday but Story Telling Sunday is part of my life and I tell myself to relax and just be, a story will come to you/me… and so it did on Saturday afternoon. And it will break my own rule!
I am a contrary lady. This week my precious is one of my brothers. Yes I have more than one brother, and this is about one of them. (Sorry PGT&M)
This is also to say thank you to my brother, especially as he said I could put his picture on my page.
I have set Monday afternoon aside for tea, cake and story reading. I have wardrobes to arrange this afternoon x
I choose such a pale colour text for my page, sorry
This is the journalling:
Monday afternoon
My brother called to arrange to visit us at the weekend. A meal, a few drinks, stay over and return home after lunch on Sunday
Friday afternoon
We went to Ikea to choose the doors for the wardrobes we wanted to order.
The intention was to order them on-line and have them delivered. We would be able to plan being here and how we would build them, we have limited space and who would help/would Ben be here?
It turned out that everything was in stock at the store and if we ordered this afternoon they would deliver tomorrow.
We said yes. We would work out the details later.
On the drive home I remembered my brother was coming over! Should I cancel him?
No: the delivery can live in the hall over the weekend; it would be fine.
Saturday afternoon
After lunch today we were talking about the delivery and it turned out that my brother has the same wardrobes, he had to put them together himself and said it nearly killed him! We would never manage on our own, he would help!!!
And so he did. He was right. The packages, 33 of them, were terribly heavy. There were far too many for the hall! and each had to be carried up stairs and the main parts of the wardrobe would have to be built in situ, never an easy thing.
My brother and my husband worked so hard today. I kept up with the tea and encouragement, the promise of a meal and something nice and chilled in the fridge.
