A sign of Aging

Dang! That's brilliant. I need one of those -- two drawers to myself, LOL. Thinking of all the various 'medicine' everybody in our household takes, if I could sequester it all in one space, it would be wonderful. As usual, you made something elegant in simplicity and absolutely beautiful. Well done.

We just adapted a spice rack we picked up at a garage sale for a couple bucks.

Lovely- as always! (And don't forget the other necessities of life as we gals age- all the lotions and potions for wrinkles and age spots and and sagging skin..... And then there's the canes and braces and walkers and..... LOL)

Very smart and practical! Does each drawer have a compartment for each medicine?

John, all I can say is "Oh! MY!!" It is so very beautiful:-) As for the getting old part.....Me SIL told me once that we ALL get ugly when we get old!! SOOOO I'm not getting OLD...I'll get oldER, but not old...Need I say that her NIBBS is NOT me fave SIL. Nana

No. We buy some of the things in large bottles of 250 or so count, and so those have to lay on their sides. Other things are stood upright in groupings that pertain to their uses. There is one drawer on the bottom left that is labeled "Misc" and is used to hold things that we, Lois and I, and not Maggie and either of us, take. Although Maggie does take something that was prescribed by a Vet but filled at the local Wal-Mart pharmacy, without so much as a by your leave. That was a first for us, as I supposed that the pet meds and people meds were somehow different. Not so. If I had divided up the drawers, there would have been more partitioning than storage space, so an open space made more sense for this application.

At 93 my father takes a baby aspirin, and that is all. Nice to know my genes are long lived like that, but my kidneys will give out before then.

You've clearly got too much time on your hands! Being as ancient as you are..... (The chest is lovely though) Bronnie, 58 in a couple of weeks, ughh.

Ah, to be 58 once again. I dimly remember those days. Early happy birthday to you. John

Not so at all. When our vet wanted to prescribe something for one of our pets, she found the "vet" version of the gel wasn't made any more. So we used the people version without problem.
