There was so much to love about this post.<br /><br />I am quite taken with the mental images I get from your feathery debauchery. (And the photo of the feather is lovely, too.)<br /><br />So glad for you that you are almost done. Yet a bit sad, too. I have enjoyed reading about (and seeing pictures of) the many treasures and oddities you came across in that house. The stories and photos would make for a great book.alejnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220142310790773053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-74400493925340421602012-11-20T20:45:34.819-05:002012-11-20T20:45:34.819-05:00It sounds exhausting in every way, but I'm gla...It sounds exhausting in every way, but I'm glad many things found new homes.Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342826784650208124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-3162990042631487762012-11-20T12:55:03.463-05:002012-11-20T12:55:03.463-05:00I love this post.

The "stuff" was easy to get rid of; the nicer things were hard. Three of the four children in that family live in small apartments; we are the only ones with a house; so they wanted to give it all to us - but, you know, we've been married 13 years. Our house is already full. <br /><br />My in-laws were right there with us, cleaning out that house, but it was still emotionally charged.Jennifer (ponderosa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17712875613623664156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-948608630095545762012-11-20T07:30:06.257-05:002012-11-20T07:30:06.257-05:00It's been 2-1/2 years since the contents of my...It's been 2-1/2 years since the contents of my childhood home were sold. The good thing about it, afterwards, is that you're not wondering where "that...whatever" got to. After a while, it feels lighter that the stuff exists now only in memory (and in the few pieces you could keep).Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-30540600061854886232012-11-19T23:19:58.093-05:002012-11-19T23:19:58.093-05:00For me it was such a relief to have it done.
