DH's deceased mother's house has sold and the new owner takes over next month so DH and I have been making runs to Parksville, loading up the truck and Jeep with anything and everything and moving it over here.

We now have her books, dishes, cutlery, bath and bed linens, bits and bobs, odds and sods. We also brought home any furniture we could fit in the truck; end tables, step stool, chairs and such. The movers will be bringing her piano, antique desk, dining table and chairs, three large bookcases, TV and stand, double bed, antique dressers and bedside table, her favourite chair and ottoman, huge, heavy coffee table and end tables......I know I've forgotten some things but you get the idea.


It would probably be a smaller list if I stated what we are leaving in her house. Even though we are getting rid of some of our stuff (queen size bed, old kitchen table and an ugly lamp) and our daughters are taking some of their grandmother's stuff, we will still have way too much stuff in our house. I'm too disorganized to have a stuffed house. I'm beginning to feel like one of those hoarders you see on TV. I'm really hoping DH can at least part with some of her books (she was a voratious reader). Dressers will be going in my craft room to hold yarn, fabric and various and sundry other craft supplies.
