Thanks, mylittlescholar! I’m starting in on my tote boxes from the garage, now. I’m actually starting to have fun! I love getting rid of things. I don’t want to burden on my family with the junk after I “fly away to glory.” Stay tuned for some interesting finds.

mylittlescholar Thanks, but these are from February when we had to move out of the house & were going thru stuff. After a while, we ran out of time & just had to pack up everything. Ghah! I am underestimating all the stuff that DH got rid of...it was soo much! I was so glad that he went thru stuff! I thought that was funny about 1 of your bags you got rid of cause it flew off your car... . CD
