Weekend Happy Dance




I did it – I finally finished assembling my tins! That noise you heard coming from Atlanta was me shouting with glee at having accomplished this monumental task. I finally finished them Sunday of Labor Day weekend. My goal set a few weeks ago was to finish them this weekend, and I am so happy that it’s done, you can’t believe it. I put the last one in place Sunday at 9 PM, and I thought about calling CNN or Ripleys or even the United Nations (this has to be as important as the other issues they are grappling with, right?). Instead, I just called a bunch of other people who knew how much of a struggle this has been. Now I can do other fun things without feeling like the “Do Something” police are dogging me. If I can get a few pictures hung up in the next week, I will have finished unpacking everything I packed to move from my apartment into my house. Mind you, I will still have boxes and boxes of stuff yet to unpack, but these are boxes that haven’t been unpacked for several years, and they are not nagging at me or vying for my attention. Them, I will get to eventually. I am in no hurry.

The top photo is the smaller of my two right-angled "tin walls". The bottom one is the larger one. I couldn't get all of it in one picture without climbing on a couch that already has stability issues. I'm going to be moving that couch to access some other stuff, so maybe when it is pulled out, I can get a better shot. (I'm sure everyone in Blogland is on the edge of his or her seat waiting for this! Anne as an acrobatic photographer.) I have another couple of displays of tins elsewhere in the house, but this is all I could get on this post. Maybe I will post them later.

Comments:
Anne, I do hope that your part of the country isn't prone to any risk of earthquakes! (evil grin)
 
Rob, you know you are the second person to raise that concern in two days. The noise from my tins in an earthquake would probably cause people to think it was Armageddon instead of a mere (!) earthquake. So far as I know (knock on wood), we don't get a lot of earthquakes in this part of the world.
