Recuperation journey: What's wrong with this picture?
Answer: Hardly any autumn colors on the trees. I'm still searching (without leaving the Valley). Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Recuperation journey: Patti's household hint
After 32 years of marriage, Ralph and I have accumulated a lot of stuff, in addition to two adult children. :)
And they did a really good job of accumulating stuff, too.
So you're ready to discard and de-clutter?
My advice is to hire a neutral party - if you can afford to do so - like we did.
He or she will assist in discarding things you'll never use again. Things you haven't seen or used in years!
Going through items tucked away in boxes can be difficult because of sentimental value attached to much of them. But when you look at stuff through someone else's eyes it can get easier.
We're happy our garage looks so much better - and empty.
Thankfully we don't have a basement to fill up with stuff, but next we need to go through all the other stuff we have around the house.
Not looking forward to it!
