Treadmill, work, a few stops on the way home. After lunch I started pulling bins out of the storage cupboard under the steps. I was concerned that the floor had been wet under there and I want to air it out. I decided to go through the boxes and I’m glad I did. I found 2 boxes that are Nate’s, two that Mom gave me to keep when she married John and moved, and TONS of things that I don’t need to keep. Going through Mom’s house last summer helped me to focus on what is to be cherished and what I don’t need to keep. Whatever Nate does with his ‘stuff’ is up to him. I won’t mind at all if he tosses most of it! (Report cards, notes, toys, etc). Kath & I will have to go through the stuff from Mom – I don’t think there is a lot we need to keep.
Autmn needed a ride home this afternoon, so I took a break and drove her to West Newton. I told her I could do that as long as it was in the daylight! Route 136 is crazy-twisty! On the way back I saw a house with a purple metal roof. THAT will be my choice if I every have to replace the roof!
In one of the boxes I found some things that were Dad’s – and we had saved for Nate. Peyton had asked for string ties last fall, so when I found a few I offered one to him. I’m glad we found some to share!
And speaking of memories – February 10 – What was your favorite meal as a child? “Fried ham, potatoes and gravy. My mom always made me apple maple dumplings for my birthday every year.” Ham was always (and still is!) a favorite of mine! That’s cool that it was Mom’s, too!
