Packing, packing, packing

The packing is well underway. We cleaned out the shed - with help from the Daughter. The husband took some of the metal junk to American Recycle right up the road - got $125 for it, too! Took some of it to the land fill where he had to pay them to take it, burned most the rest in the burn pile (we live waaaaay out in the country, where burning trash is okay)and, finally, he took all the toxic stuff (paint, etc.) to the place where you're supposed to take it for disposal. In otherwords, didn't burn it and didn't take it into the landfill.

I've been going through everything and getting rid of lots of stuff. I took massive amounts of clothes and other household items to the church rummage sale. I have some books for the local library that are ready, and the old livingroom furniture is going to the Salvation Army next week! Yea!

However, even after all the cleaning out and throwing out, there's still an incredible amount of stuff that must be delt with! It's unbelievable how many dishes I thought I needed to take care of two people. How many towels, sets of sheets, pairs of shoes, bottles of shampoo, boxes of herbal tea, bags of frozen spinish does it take? Probably not as many as have turned up in my house!
