Blog Your Blessings Sunday - My helper

Today I am grateful for all the help I had today from Miss Artistic (Mama Kelly’s oldest daugher).  It was fun having some one to sort with and she lifted, shoved, folded, and carried a lot of stuff which made it possible for me to get a lot done.  We tackled the upstairs today and got through everything on one side of the large family room and about half of the boxes that were in the small room.  We both were hot and tired by the end of a 5-hour sorting marathon with a couple of bumps and bandaides from minor injuires.  But we also enjoyed a nice break for lunch (pizza) and on the way back from dropping off the donations we stopped for ice carem at a local ice cream parlor that makes the best ice cream ever. 

This is what we accomplished - Five big bags of trash were set out on the curb.  Six big trash bags of clothes were taken to the drop off bins.  At least 20 boxes and containers were sorted, probably more.  I didn’t bother to take an exact count.  I now have a pile  of boxes for possible ebay listings and charity, a big pile of boxes that are Teacherman’s things to sort, a medium pile of boxes for Angelgirl to sort.   A only couple of boxes of things I will most likely be keeping and once I have room I will unpack the items in these.

Thank you Miss Artistic!

P.S. And apologies to Mama Kelly for the small bag of “new treasures” that Miss Artistic rescued from my “junk” and brought home with her.   LOL
