A Wednesday Haiku

Missy needed help
With the final packing of
Mom’s household items.


Missy is one of our swimmers. I said her “Mom”, but it was actually her mother-in-law, but that didn’t fit the syllable requirement - a little poetic license. 8^)

Missy’s MIL had moved into a retirement facility, and there were just the last odds and ends of stuff left in her house. Several of us were able to spend some time with her this morning, getting them sorted into the “keep, give away, and throw away” piles. With the extra hands and Missy to direct traffic, we got a huge amount done.

I’m glad we got to help a friend. But it also surely made us think about all this junk in the house and what we’re eventually going to do with it. John says we ought to just leave it for the girls to deal with (sorry, gals!). I still think we need to start whittling down on the “things”.

Well, maybe I’ll think about that tomorrow.
