Newman is helping to get ready for the garage sale!!
Wow...This going through my parents belongings thing kinda, well, sucks eggs...I have been slowly making rounds around the house, figuring out what to keep, what to sell, what to donate...Simply overwhelming.
It is hard trying to separate emotions from the "stuff..." There are things I will keep because of the sentimental value...I came across my Mom's wedding veil, something I have never seen in person...It is not something that may ever come back out of the closet, but it is going to stay there anyway. There are other things that are much harder...Oh look, it is a beautiful golden bird statuette, that my Mom loved to display on her mantel...It is just not anywhere near my style, but it is hard to just put something my Mom loved out for sale, but it just has to be done.
So, I am as ready as I am going to be. Saturday will be the first of a few garage sales that will help to bring in some money, and help dig me out of the 2 houses full of stuff.
I, once again, realize I am so lucky to have wonderful supportive people in my life. A handful of my friends came over and helped me go through the house and grab anything I may have missed, organize it all and price it...And, they have agreed to come help me on Saturday at the garage sale. I couldn't do this without them...Their undying support is like a warm blanket wrapped around my shoulders on a cold night.
Much love.
