Clarissa’s Bed and Raleigh Dump:

Clarissa’s Bed: To our benefit, the lady who sold us the house left behind a lot of furniture, including a king size bed. We decided to put it in Clarissa’s room so that it could convert easily to a nice guest room. This has been fun for both Lily, who has loved making the king bed look beautiful with bedding, and also Clarissa, who seems to love her giant bed. Here are pictures of her enjoying a fairy book on her big beautiful bed:

Raleigh Dump: Lily found mouse droppings in the garage on or by the steps, and that (combined with Georgia’s and our concern that bugs would get in her things in the garage) accelerated our cleaning of the garage. Today, I picked up a Uhaul truck which Lily scheduled and threw all of our waste from the move in it. After it was loaded, Lydia joined me going to the dump. We chatted about the book she is reading (Emma) and other fun things, and we both thought the dump was very interesting. It was extremely smelly, had tons of seaguls (and even some bald eagles!), and was generally an intersting site to see:

At home, I put almost all of Georgia’s things in our garage in matress bags, so it should now be a much less interesting place for mice and bugs!
