Today, with a lot of help from Ann, I finally managed to complete sorting and rearrangement of the “stuff” stored in the carriage house. We now have a lot of items for our yard sale. Timing for the sale is TBD. My workshop is cleared and cleaned. I plan to start some projects soon. The first will be to refurbish Meredith’s rabbit hutch.
In the sorting process I went through a huge bin of photographs. I did not cull any photos. I expect the kids will have a great time looking at them some time in the future. I also came across a basket of stuff from my mother things after she died. We just put them away. What I found was a lot of my baby clothes, some baby toys, some of mother’s clothes. There were also some baby shoes, including one of my first pair of shoes. There was a shirt that I suspect was given to me by my Uncle Bill and Aunt Imogene since it was an Auburn shirt and they were in school there after WWII.
It is sort of strange to go through all of those things. They really are precious to me but what do you do with them? I suppose somebody might want an item or two. Perhaps they will be displayed in the George Ezell library which will surely be built after I’ve departed.
