My Display Cabinet

In the old house, I had stored most of my collectibles pack up in the attic. Cash was still very young and I was waiting until we could get a we could get a display cabinet so I could set them out safely.

But we just never got around to in. And when Ike took the roof off, I lost so many of my things.

So after Ike, I saw this display cabinet while we were out looking to replace a few things that we lost. Stephen told his Mother about it and she got it for me for my birthday!

This is the first time I've got to use it in the four years that I've had it.

Now that it's set up, this room is really coming together the way we have been dreaming it to!

I was so happy to unpack our DVDs! Haven't seen them in almost four years.

I even found my old cassette tapes.

Creeping Fig - The Battle Begins

So, one of the reasons Stephen wanted this house was because of the HUGE Queen Palm in front of the house.

But it, and the whole front of the house, is covered with these thick vines.

After a little searching, I found out that the vine is creeping fig

And it isn't good for the pets or the house! So are pulled it down. Pretty sure it's gonna take allot of work to get rid of it.
