I wish he had taken a picture Linds!
The packing is so much work Gayle! I still would rather move than have a paint job though! At least you had help and Gary supervising. You will move....and everything will get there. Keep saying that over and over to yourself!
When I retired, I began going through everything I owned, donating some and throwing out others. I only kept what I really used. Even stuff I wasn't sure about, I got rid of. I think I have missed 2 or 3 things! I used big, black hefty bags. It took over a year because I didn't even have a place I was moving to yet, but I knew that I was going to be moving sooner than later. That was quite a luxury! I also knew that the superintendent of my building would take the good stuff and find a place for it all, either with him, or whoever. That was a load off because everybody hates to throw out when you can donate.
By the time I found the house and was moving, I really got ruthless. IK didn't even take my everyday dishes! I went to Walmart when I got here and bought new dishes, plastic containers, etc.
Anything I wanted to save, but didn't want, I gave to Jessie.
Like I said, it was a luxury. I never had the chance to do it that way before!
I did learn Gayle, that it is way better to get rid of it before you move than to go through it after. Maybe you can get your daughter to help you.
