Sorted through and packed almost the entire contents of my mother's home this last week. My sister did most of the work, bless her. So many decisions to make, my decider is worn out for a while. That's most unfortunate as we need to start shopping for Christmas in earnest.
Hauled home more than I should have. Can't think of a thing I let go that I regret. It's just stuff, but stuff tied to precious memories. Found an Easter egg from who knows how many years ago. Real egg, now petrified but still a lovely shade of purple. It's in my hutch. Kelsey will be the keeper of Mr. Duck, the concrete goose my mother lovingly dressed each season. Mom valiantly attempted to keep the squirrels from stealing duck's clothing for their nests. Miranda snapped up most of the Christmas ornaments. She loves all things Christmas. Nick ended up with more practical items and he's pleased with that.
All in all it was a wonderful time together with family.

I was glad to have let my sister and mother clean out grandma's house. Who needs 300+ Cool Whip containers?
There are always some treasures, tho.
