When in Doubt..

A while back I talked about my Mother's Day gift - the promise of a dumpster! 
I thought I'd update you as to how our purging is going!
We have given away hundreds of items:
  •  to someone who was having a garage sale in support of Rescue Dogs.
  • to the curb where we have been amazed that everything we have put out has been taken before garbage day! 
    • scrap metal
    • old lumber
    • broken rocking horse
    • chicken wire...
  • to the Salvation Army Thrift Store
  • to Monica's PSW's (cook books, a walker...)
  • to the church library
  • to the Public Library
  • and finally, in big black garbage bags and recycling bins! 
The most amazing part is that the whole family is enjoying this process of cleaning and purging. I even get asked "Can we go down and do a few more boxes today!"

Yesterday I was clearing out books from my shelves and came across some papers. As I was trying to figure out what they were, I came up with the saying that I shall continue with: "When in Doubt, Throw it Out!"
And so, our purging continues. So far, no dumpster has been needed.
