So long, Stuff!

We have been sorting through boxes of stuff we have carried around with us for awhile. Even though it is just stuff, my stuff all means something to me - otherwise I wouldn't have kept it. But, I realize that all this stuff is just taking up space and it is time to houseclean and move forward. So, it is with sadness that I part with my country decorations - my mop bunnies, my toll painted pictures, my needlepoint projects (finished and unfinished!), a lot of books, a lot of clothes, candles, country pillows, etc, etc. It makes me sad and makes me even sadder when one of my children, who shall remain nameless, said, "You're giving away all the things that remind me of home." Ouch - that hurt! And, he's right. They do all bring back memories - great memories, but there is always room to make new memories and store new stuff, which I'm sure I will do. In the meantime, I hope somebody who shops at Deseret Industries will enjoy my stuff and make their own great memories for their families.
