(Currently: 2019) Below is a blog post that I wrote in 2003. In it, I mentioned Linens-N-Things. I can’t even remember this store, but I’m thinking it may have been located where Bed bath & Beyond is now. Ashley said that she remembers it though. She said they used to have carts for adults, but also carts that were kid-size for them to push around. I have no memory of this, unfortunately. That’s why it’s so helpful for me to take lots of pictures and video. If I film something or take a picture, it’s stored in my memory.

(The Past) August 17, 2003 I am sitting here in a very dark bedroom. When I say very dark, I mean VERY dark. It looks as though it is nighttime and in reality, it is only 1:00 PM.

The reason it is so dark is because yesterday we went to Linens-N-Things and bought burgundy chenille curtains. We selected an India Ball rod and holdback. It will knock your eyes out it is so beautiful! We were only used to having plantation blinds in our bedroom, so the morning, light would still shine in. Also, you couldn’t play certain computer games during the day because the light coming through the blinds would put a horrible glare on the screen. Some games just have to be played in a darker room.

Enter darkness: Kevin kept the blinds up and hung the curtains in front of them. It is like being inside a cave. Now I can play whatever I want whenever I want and not have to worry about what I’m missing. Yea! We should have done this a long time ago!

Below is a picture of the new curtains. They are very thick and heavy and with their dark color, you can understand how they do such a great job keeping the light out.
