Moving preparations continue. This week, Calico and I are focusing on the garage. It has been a thorn in our sides, since the day we moved in.
In Georgia, we had a spacious two car garage with a huge partitioned storage area at the back. It held everything from tools to Christmas decorations. It even kept boxes of photos safe and dry. Our current garage is a converted carport with a perpetually damp odor. It is barely wide enough to hold a car and certainly not intended for storage. Our car has only seen the inside of the garage on a couple occasions, when Calico raced to rearrange all the stuff stored there, in an attempt to avoid damage by hail or high winds. Once the danger has passed, the car goes back out in the yard and the garage reverts to its storage unit status.

Until recently, Connie only used her skill to decorate her home and provide occasional gifts to family and friends. Retirement, however, allowed her far more time to pursue her passion. She used the children’s bedrooms to store the excess and soon it became hard to maneuver around her stock. When the children planned to come home for a holiday visit, she knew that something had to give. Read more »

I’ve spent the last three days organizing photos. When my parents came to live with us, they brought boxes of photos. Some were theirs and others had belonged to their parents. I’ve done my own share of photo collecting over the years too. The bottom line? We have tons of photos. To be more precise, boxes containing 14 cubic feet of them. That’s a lot of snapshots! They didn’t get organized before our last move. We were dealing with three households full of furniture at the time. Photos seemed small in comparison.
