In a world that worships death cleaning and minimalism, guest author Karen Kemp makes the case for mess - and for the unexpected intimacy it brings with those who came before.
Quite delightful and humorous as well. I had images of my own dear mother who cared nothing at all for tidy areas. Reading books topped her list of what to do when she wasn’t running a nursery business.
A friend once told me...
"Entertain in the evening, and then you only have to dust under the lamps."
Certainly works for me.
Loved this piece; my very patient daughter is currently play your role.
I love that "dust under the lamps." ; - ) Thank you for reading and commenting.

I finally have a cleaner. we're friends. Cleaning the house, to me, is a horrible task.
I find I haven't been able to downsize. I love all my possessions. everything has a place and it's pretty neat.
