Made huge progress in downsizing...but a funny happened that I know you'll appreciate. As my sweet husband laid down the law that we are not bringing back into the house nor garage the things we didn't sell at the garage sale over the week-end. He made sure I understood that we are DOWNSIZING. He made it very clear that we are downsizing and THINGS that don't sell will NOT return to the estate. Period. Nooooooo.
I loaded the trunk of the car and the back seat FULL of these ever loving treasures. It felt pretty good to load the car and go IMMEDIATELY to the thrift shop to drop off our 'goodies' that we will never see again.
No need to hang onto these treasures.
NO. NEED.
The place we were taking the goods has a person help load the stuff into an oversized cart that they wheel back into the building when finished saying good-bye to things you've become attached to but are bravely parting with.
ALMOST PAINLESS.
ALMOST.
As sweet Hubby pulled a large picture of some elephants out of truck, he affectionately spoke these words with honesty..."You're not going to get rid of my elephant picture are you?"
I had marked it a whole DIME and it didn't sell so she was in the trunk of the car going to Thrift Lane riding on top of the spare tire.
I quickly said to him, "Now is the time to decide if you want this or not. Just put it back in the trunk if you want to keep it." He placed his treasure back in the trunk.
HOUSTON...we have a problem. WE need a little bit more time to get use to the idea that we are downsizing.
Laughing at how he changed his tune about 'we are downsizing'......nothing out in the garage is going to go back in there or back into the house.
Except..........
HaHA.
I laughed out loud,
