    I like your photo tjy! Accidentally artistic XD
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    On my bed. It's laying on the floor, by the way.

    Well, not really. And if I do, I usually scold them for moving things around. There is a particular method to my madness which I have yet to figure out. Let's just say I have made a habit of taking a book from a shelf, reading the back or using it for reference, and then setting it on the floor or even on the other side of the room.

    NO! Then I wouldn't know where to find things.

    My husband and I are currently sleeping on a futon (a hard one, too) in the dining room because the upper level is being refurbished. Well, it's not even our house! We still have to find a place. It's my relative's and he's refurbishing it. So, we're sort of in the same situation, but we do pick up our clothes. LOL
    I can't stand walking into someones bedroom and it be completely "spot-less." My first thoughts are, "don't you ever do anything in here?" Also, concerning my book collection, I have amassed about 250 books on those shelves.

    I can't say that I know what sleeping on a hard futon feel like, but how about a stiff twin-sized bed with a spring sticking through it (a sharp one at that)? That's why I have a thick blanket on it. I wouldn't want to wake up stuck to my bed!

    Dori, one of these days you may get a girl to come into your room and one look at that and she's going to run away as fast as she can. So you see it's important to keep it at least managable.

    This is managable...for me. But I understand what you're getting at.

    Awesome pics. I went to basic in Fort Benning. Maybe you met some of my ex girlfriends. Just kidding, I was way too busy back then for ladies. Thanks for serving your nation Dj. B

    Thanks, B. Ft. Benning was a blast, I wouldn't mind be stationed there somewhere down the line. BTW, where were you stationed when you were in Germany?

    I was in Garlstedt, West Germany at the time. We were in the British sector, between Bremerhaven and Bremen. Actually the base was called Clay Kaserne.

    Virgil; seems to me people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
    I know a certain someone who's den is pretty close to what Dori's bedroom looks like. Care to take a hint as to who it is ?
