How nice to see them again before pitching them into the garbage!

I still have boxes and boxes and drawers and drawers to sort!

By the way, would anyone like a FREE sofa? The color is brown!
Going back in tomorrow...I just get so cold!

Taffy, I am so sorry about all this...wish I could be there to help you!

We had a fire when I was in high school and lost everything and sort through all the debris was a mess.

Hope it all goes well and you get back to normal!

Hugs!

Geez, Soggy, what a drag. I'm glad it's not your house but it can't be any easier to have to clean up that mess. Send the couch to dm, I'll even pop for shipping.

I am headed over Tappy's way in the morning. I will check things out! Hopefully she's ok. I assume she's not going to be available for a meeting at the Cheesecake factory down my way, but just in case...let me know. I will be there til Wednesday.

I might need some cheering up...or something. Meeting with MIL tomorrow afternoon. Don't mind that big huge cloud near St. Helens...it's not the mountain blowing it's top!

Hello Taffy,
I'm sorry you're having to deal with all of this. It sounds like a real mess. Just know that you have been in my thoughts all weekend. I hope things are much better for you as the weeks and days progress.

All the best,
Chris

Thanks all!

One good thing is we get to dump all of the garbage for free all month. Yeah!

Can you guess what wet, soggy, garbage would cost? Lots! So that is a great help!

But then, it started to snow today.

Not enough to do anything. Just enough to add to the slippery mud mess. Just enough to make my feet and fingers feel like they were going to snap off.

I can't believe how much stuff my parents have (had) Like,my sister swung at a plastic golf ball and at the same time my mom open the back door and the ball and my mom's nose....yeah! Well, my mom saved the plastic golf ball. Our whole history is there. Emotional, funny, and creepy!

We went thru a very quick downsizing the last couple of days.

Some things are just stuff that can be replaced.

Some things can just be memories now.

(some things were so freak'n ugly, I was glad to throw away!)
