The Black Hole of Clutter
Rene and I have accepted the brave adventure that is clutter removeal in the potter house. We are still sane after three days of sorting, pitching, keeping, and organizing. However I must admit it seems like the more we do the more there is to do. After sorting two closets, one library downstairs and one library in the cave we have a roomful of stuff to give away and several bags to throw away. I will try to get some of the pictures up of the finished sort but this is middle of the process pictures.
I remember helping my mom go through things and pack - I took off a week in August about 3 1/2 years ago to help with the process. My sister had already begun the work. This was the home she had lived in since I was about 7 or 8 years old. Memories! Fortunately, she was a very organized person. Still, there were numerous things to donate/trash, etc. We had to go through their old office papers, too. Truth be known, I still miss going to Odessa and seeing Mother in the house I grew up in! Such is life . . .
