Trinity Episcopal Church in Seymour to collect household item donations

NEWS!!! This is a BIG ONE! 

We have been receiving many calls from people wanting to donate household items to people impacted by the flood - so many homes need to replace ALL of their belongings. So, our friends at Trinity Episcopal Church of Seymour have offered to accept these items, organize them, and open up their doors to anyone who is in need.

Monday, Aug. 26 through Thursday, Aug. 29
9 a.m.- 4 p.m.

Used items and gently worn clothing accepted, anything NEW even better! (Think towels, sheets, toiletries, kitchenware, etc).

Do you want to volunteer to help sort through and display the donated items? Email lmckenzie@teaminc.org

Recuperation journey: Sentimental value or no longer needed?

Going through someone else's treasures collected over a lifetime can pose a dilemma, I've learned.
Especially when the person is one's own late mother.  

I now face a new project after we cleaned out a storage unit Saturday that contained her household items, photographs, and other memorabilia. 

There's a glass plate with scenes of Niagara Falls on it, a small Toby jug featuring the likeness of Old King Cole, trays for entertaining, candlesticks, record albums, and more. 
And I've only started to make my way through the boxes. 

It's going to take a while, I imagine. 
Stay tuned if you're interested in old stuff. I'll post more photos as I go along.
