Spring Cleaning

I am starting early..where did all this stuff come from? Are my genes set to shop?
Was I in a trance powered by the store's sixties music and the grinding of the one irritating wheel that refused to roll while strolling down aisles and tossing items in the cart.
I find the best way to clear out is to follow Clean Sweep - piles for Keep, Sell and Donate
Donate is the biggest pile....the local resale shop accepts items without comment
If I have eliminated so much stuff-how come what's left will not fit back in where everything was? I need to check on the laws of physics.


Once I tried on a dress that looked so ridiculous on me that I laughed so hard I cried and staggered laughing out of the dressing room, handed the dress to the attendant with a brief comment about it being too big.

My granddaughter stayed with me last weekend. I put on the Christmas Lights and we played with Play dough for 3 hours making people and shapes with all the colours. Time worth spent.
Art Linkletter was right-kids say the darndist things.

Relief

The presents are all unwrapped, the tree is packed away.
There is always a few forgotten decorations....but I don't mind..they keep the Christmas spirit going all year.

I leave lights up inside the house all year around. My granddaughter is fascinated with the multicoloured lights.
It took two trips to move all the presents she received to her house.

Next round of celebrations will be family and friends birthdays.

Have a safe New Year
