that list. i am super happy. i got majority of the things checked off. thirty-two out of thirty-five is not bad. and i am okay with the three things i didn't get done. i can make the three owls next week. and can organize the august receipts next weekend. and that steamed soy milk with a chai tea bag. i will be one of those this week.
i inherited my love of lists from my grandma. or maybe i should say. i inherited my need for lists from my grandma. she was the queen of stationery. most of which was used for keeping things organized. sharpies. elastics. staplers. paper clips. notebooks. paper.
my grandma passed away four months ago. she was definitely one of my favorite people. ever. i inherited her sharpies in the photo above. along with some of her pearls. but i must say. i value her markers, and the memories associated with them, more.
whoohoo for grandmas! whoohoo for sharpies! and whoohoo for lists!
I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad that you have the memories of your wonderful grandmother to keep with you.

My grandma passed away this month last year. I miss her so much. I inherited the shell that she kept in her salt for measuring. it means more to me then anything.

That was an ambitious list - good for you for checking so much off! I love lists too, sometimes in my head, sometimes on paper. On paper helps me to clear my head. Grandma's are awesome, I agree.
