OMG......WHY do we hang on to "things", "stuff", "crap"???????? The 1st Lady and I spent hours.....HOURS...in our garage today attempting to sort out tons.....yes, TONS....of all of the items named in the first sentence of this blog. We began by deciding to put these terribly important items into three general areas on the driveway: trash/throwaways that are definite......items we want to keep/save......and, items for the as yet, unscheduled, remodeling/garage sale.
Were we successful???? Hell no!!! And besides, ALL of this had to be returned to the garage until we find a way to dispose of the larger items which will NOT fit into the trash receptacle which the city soooo graciously provides us for some ungodly amount of money each month......and for which they pick up this load ONCE per WEEK!!! Soooo, it was necessary to attempt to keep the items in three separate areas of the garage.........and.....guess what! The garage looks almost like it did before we began this horrific project today.
We have furniture stacked to the ceiling that needs to be sold: think I will set up all of this furniture on the driveway and advertise a "rooms to go" sale, as I have enough to set up individual rooms......perhaps a special price if the buyer takes the entire room??? Just want to get this stuff off of my property!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to get rid of anything that we had not used in one year......HA! IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! I just can't believe the amount of things that the 1st Lady "could not possibly" part with!!! Oh well.......at least it is sorted into the three categories NOW.
After a much needed shower to rid myself of all of the dust, cobwebs, and grit, it was time to prepare to head out into the beautiful area southeast of here for a BBQ for members of the 1st Lady's sorority. There were 24 there......and the home of the hostess sits in such an incredibly beautiful area with the mountains, which are so green with the spring leaves of the trees, exposed to the eye from any point of view. What a wonderful place to live!!!!
It was a nice evening, good food, and stimulating conversation from the inevitable politics of today....to places and destinations that several of us have traveled to around the world. Interesting......as all of us have aged, the partying and wine drinking of yesterdays has disappeared..........hmmmmmm, have we grown tired with the years, or just become wiser as we have learned how badly we will feel the next morning????
And sooooo, another week comes to a close........and....
Life is Great......and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
