Day 148 through Day 157

I am staying with my daughter for a couple of days.  We are having a good time and are getting a lot accomplished. 
I have thrown enough out that I am covered for the three days that I am here.  Some of the items are old food, pillows, pop corn popper, clothes, magazines, catalogs, and chairs.  Probably the biggest thing that I got rid of was some old flower seeds that I have had hanging around for several years.

Day 143 through Day 147

My dining room is spectacular!  This week I got rid of knickknacks, dining room chairs, child's table, craft guides, laundry baskets, towels, and sheets.  My husband is on a fishing trip and my daughter-in-law and her children are staying with me.  Other family members have been dropping in for this Memorial Day Weekend.  We are having a lot of fun!
My youngest granddaughter had to go to the ER for an allergic reaction to a bug bite on Friday.  She is okay, but I had to do the driving to the ER and it was nerve wracking.

Day 126 through Day 142

Oh, my!  What a birthday celebration we had.  The whole family was home and we partied through the night.  It was a weekend to not be forgotten.
Also, I have gotten rid of some good stuff, including, the dining room table, an old sewing machine in a cabinet, popcorn popper, pillows, clothes, old towels and wash clothes, old table clothes, old magazines and catalogs, old toys, and old games.  It has been a very active sixteen days.

Day 108 through Day 125

We attended our granddaughters' First Communion today and have our grandson's tomorrow.  The girls looked so sweet all dressed up in their beautiful gowns.  We went to get their hair done this morning and of course it brought tears.  They are growing up way too fast. 
It has been long since I have written in my blog.  A few days after the bombing in Boston, they killed one of the bombers and seriously wounded the other.  He remains in police custody.  God Bless America.
I am having a hay day getting rid of things in my house.  Candles, Easter decorations, Christmas decorations, old pans, old glasses. bed spreads, .pillows, old medicine, old detergents, old craft items, and other such items.
A big week ahead with all the family coming in for Mother's Day, May 12th.

Day 102 through Day 107

Not only was tax day yesterday, it was also the latest attack on US as a nation.  Some evil person decided to place bombs at the Boston Marathon.  As of right now, three are dead (including an eight year old boy), and a hundred and seventy-six are injured with nineteen of those critical.  A lot of the injuries are lost limbs.  Once again, it brings to the fore front of our being that we need to be vigilant in our prusuit to keep our nation safe.  And at this point I want to state heartily, "God Bless America!"
I am very upset by the whole thing, but I do want to take this time to blog about what I thrown out in the past couple of days.  I have gotten rid of hanging folders, kerosene lamps (2), pressure cooker, cook books, lots of old papers, magazines, and catalogs. 

Day 85 through Day 101

I can't believe that we are through over a hundred days already.  How amazing is that. 
It has been a long time since I wrote in this, but I know that I am the only one reading it, so I don't know what makes the difference.  I have been really busy any way.
My daughter-in-law's father had to have heart surgery on Good Friday.  We helped take care of their children and enjoyed every minute of it. 
We had a very quiet Easter because my father-in-law and my daughter-in-law were both sick with the flu.  Also, we had family on Spring break from Washington D.C. to Florida (two families there) to all over our state.
But, I am still tossing.  Pans, dishes, glasses, Tupperware, Easter and St. Patrick's Day decorations, clothes, magazines, catalogs, books, old make up, old lotion, and lots more cassettes. 

Day 78 through Day 84

Wow!  Another week over!  This year is flying by!  I wish that spring would get here though.  We are suppose to get a snow storm today with a possiblity of a foot of snow.  I don't know if I should wish for it not to happen or want it to so I could stay home and enjoy it.  Either way, we are in for the day and have heard from our one son who already has three inches on the ground at his home.
This week involved me throwing out some of my favorite glasses (a winter scene), some other glasses, Tupperware, St. Patrick's Day window clings, cassette tapes, clothes, and some more out dated food items.  I really think I am getting good at this whole thing.
