I offered Margaret the opportunity to come pick up a couple of chests-of-drawers that she's said she would like. And, of course, she jumped at the chance. Now all I have to do is decided what to do with the stuff that's in them. But then, that's the point, isn't it. I guess I'm just going to have to start taking a few sacks at a time to Good Will or Teen Challenge or somewhere.

Sue e-mailed that she was willing to take anything else we wanted to get rid of, so no telling what'll be leaving. When Margaret took the bedroom furniture last spring, she browsed and collected from all over the house. I'm really just tickled that the girls and grands want some of it.

We've kept some of John's mother's photo albums under the china cabinet. Well, of course, THOSE have to be looked at. We've had fun (and some laughs) today looking at all those skinny young people and gorgeous babies. That's one of the problems with going through all the stuff. It usually goes unnoticed, but when you actually have to look at it, it takes more time. Guess that's part of the unexpected price of whatever-it-is.

Have you gotten your copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yet? We'll just have to wait to see how it comes out. Kate's at a fiber festival this weekend, but I'll bet that Jean's been reading all evening.

Today's picture was originally taken in 1962. I can't believe we were EVER that young.
