Almost...the Last Hurrah



On Saturday, Anne (Amy's friend) and Mike and his girls came over to help get stuff out of the attic.  It made it go much faster!

This is the left side of the porch with stuff for the Purple Heart.  Please note the self portrait of Mom that she was willing to get rid of - we saved it.

The right side of the porch - loaded and gone.

Maddie and Caroline who helped.


What a day!!!!!! The 1-800-Got-Junk guys came and finished emptying the attic and basement.  Luckily, the weather held up - no snow and no rain.

The basement - emptied.

The other side of the basement with what is going with us.  In case you wondered, those are Mom's waterski's - maybe we will hang them in the porch.

The right side of the attic.

The left side of the attic - please note the hideous set of drawers that mom refused to get rid of.  (They belonged to Ruth Galloway.)
How much stuff left, you ask?  Two FULL trucks!!!!!!!



These guys worked so hard and were fabulous.  In total, from the Thomas House - 6 trucks.
One good wind might knock this house over. 

I still have to go to the shredder and to the dump - my car is loaded.  The garage is an ongoing project, but I have the weekend.

I am off to the dentist because, of course I broke a tooth on Saturday.  Luckily, no pain.  I also have a bumper crop of poison ivy on my left hand.  I did not know you could still get it in the winter.  I saw some on a small tree that had come down in a bad spot, so I carefully shifted the tree into the woods.  I thought I was careful, but apparently not. 

So, we are on a roll and Amy has the plumber, the cable, the phone people all ready to go when she gets to Durham.  She is fabulous! 

Time to go. 

Love, Leslie
