So, progress since last time. Thursday, I finally got the lock cut off my storage locker and the next day Peter and I went by there and started going through things. I cannot believe the things I kept from Mom's. 6 boxes of Heritage books. Really? My baby dresses? A whole lot of quilts I didn't know about. Thumbprint glass, in addition to the Lenox china I did remember (Lafayette is the pattern, I found). And two boxes of Breyer horses. Barbies and barbie clothes. Some dolls that were my mothers. And a bunch of other stuff. Wow, really should have parted ways with some of this stuff before. Took a load home to sort through and did manage to discard about half the stuff. This morning Anil came over and he and Alan emptied out a lot of the attic. Down came boxes of class materials, clothes, linens, VHS tapes, old software, and books. Yikes. If there's one thing I do not want to see any more of it would be photos and books. I swear about half the cubic volume of our move will be photos and books.
